Chapter 168 Cultivating the Spirit
After all the men from the five major families were present, Li Zigong took stock and found that there was still a shortfall of six thousand spirit stones.
This is the cost that the five major families should bear. Qingxuan Sect will naturally not occupy their shares, but the difference of the six thousand spirit stones must be made up immediately.
If you can’t cultivate fourth-level spiritual veins in one day, if you can’t deploy fourth-level formations in one day, and if you can’t arrange for Zifu period monks to defend Chaoyin Mountain, this spiritual stone mine will not be considered stable.
Therefore, Li Zigong only gave the five major families three hours to discuss. If they still cannot get the spirit stones after three hours, the 6,000 spirit stones will come from Qingxuan Sect, and 3% of the shares will also belong to Qingxuan Sect. All owned by Xuanzong.
The Ma family and the Zhu family have already searched the inventory and can’t find any spiritual stones at all.
In three hours, even if they sold off their belongings, they would not be able to come up with such a large sum of spiritual stones quickly. Therefore, these three percent shares can only be given to the other three most powerful families.
In the end, Wu Xiangjian, Zhang Zhixuan, and Liu Zixuan each took out 2,000 spirit stones and each won 1% of the share.
In the end, the Qingxuan Sect held 75% of the small spirit stone mine in Chaoyin Mountain, the Wu family held 11%, the Zhang, Liu and Ma families each held 4%, and the Liucheng Zhu family held 2%, and six parties discussed Together they divided up this spiritual stone mine.
The spiritual stones were enough, so Li Zigong personally came forward and invited Wang Chengxiang, the fourth-level formation mage from Qingxuan Sect, and entrusted him with setting up the fourth-level spirit gathering formation and cultivating the fourth-level spiritual veins.
Wang Chengxiang has cultivated to the third level of Zifu and is the only fourth-level formation mage in Qingxuan Sect. Unless something big happens, it will be very difficult for him to come down.
But for this spirit stone mine, Wang Chengxiang still came forward personally, took out a fourth-level magic weapon from the Qingxuan Sect’s treasury to serve as the formation eye, buried 100,000 spirit stones near the formation eye, and then buried it within a thousand miles nearby. Set up the formation flag, continuously gather the spiritual energy flowing from the heaven and earth, and cultivate the fourth-level spiritual veins.
When the formation eye has completely refined the 100,000 spirit stones, the spirit gathering formation will be self-sufficient, and this place will continuously absorb spiritual energy, turning it into a fourth-level low-grade spiritual mountain.
Wang Chengxiang, a fourth-level array master, came forward, and Li Zigong invited Sun Changgeng, the sect elder from the seventh floor of the Purple Mansion. The three of them combined their efforts to activate the spirit gathering array. It took only a few months for it to be refined. One hundred thousand low-grade spiritual stones were used to successfully cultivate a new fourth-level spiritual vein.
Even for Qingxuan Sect, the fourth-level spiritual veins are a very good cultivation treasure. Not all of the thirteen Zifu monks of Qingxuan Sect have their own fourth-level spiritual veins. Many of them still work with Taoist Jin Lan. They crowded together on Qingyang Mountain.
Although the fifth-level spiritual energy on Qingyang Mountain is more abundant, under the nose of the Jindan Patriarch, there may not be freedom outside.
After all, a monk must have many secrets, and they may not want Patriarch Jin to know these secrets. Once given the opportunity, the Zifu monks of Qingxuan Sect also like to leave the sect and take charge of one side.
The fourth-level spiritual veins had just been deployed in Chaoyin Mountain, and an elder from the Zifu of Qingxuan Sect took the initiative to ask for help to personally guard this spiritual stone vein.
The person who came was none other than Sun Changgeng, who had helped last time. This elder had cultivated for five years and reached the seventh level of the Purple Mansion. He was one of the more powerful among the thirteen Purple Mansion elders of Qingxuan Sect.
Although he is no longer confident about forming pills, his status in Qingxuan Sect is still higher than that of Wu Siheng.
Qingxuanzong also spent a lot of money on this spirit stone mine. Not only did he send Sun Changgeng, a late-stage elder of the Zifu, but he also sent five foundation-building monks. If you add the manpower drawn from the five major families, it is enough to guard this place.
If a fourth-level formation is deployed on Chaoyin Mountain, even if Sun Changgeng’s Zifu Qi elders don’t take action and rely on the ten foundation building and 200 Qi training monks stationed on the mountain, they can block the attack of one or two Zifu monks. .
Qingxuan Sect has a fourth-level formation mage Wang Chengxiang. This person has inspected the terrain of Chaoyin Mountain. As soon as he returned to Qingxuan Sect, he searched for materials from the sect’s treasury and refined a fourth-level mid-level formation Qinglong Jiuding Formation. Sent to Chaoyin Mountain.
This formation requires nine monks in the foundation-building period to preside over. It is divided into nine formation eyes. Each formation eye is a third-level formation. It is followed by sixteen Qi-training period monks. Once the formation is activated, nine The formation eyes can cooperate with each other to superimpose the power of nine third-order formations to form a very powerful formation.
Once the power of the Jiuding Formation is superimposed, the power is very terrifying. Even if a monk from the Zifu Stage comes to break into the formation, he will be trapped and die in the formation once he is deeply trapped in the formation. Unless someone can help and divide the power of the formation, we can get out of the predicament.
Just after the monks of Qingxuanzong arranged the formation and made all preparations, large groups of people from the five major families also rushed to Chaoyin Mountain.
After the mortals from the five major families came to Chaoyin Mountain, under the plan of the Qingxuanzong monks, some of them began to dig rocks in preparation for mining the spirit stone mine.
The other part built towns and cultivated fields near Chaoyin Mountain in preparation for long-term settlement.
After everything was ready, and it took a year to lay the foundation, large-scale mining of spiritual stones began in Chaoyin Mountain.
In the beginning, because there was a lot of preparation work, only a few spirit stones could be mined every day. As the mine went deeper and deeper, the output became larger and larger, and gradually stabilized at a daily output of thirty or forty spirit stones. Stone left and right.
According to the calculations of the monks of Qingxuanzong, after a while, after the mortal monks who mine are more skilled, the output is estimated to be stable at more than fifty spiritual stones.
Fifty spiritual stones are mined every day, and the annual output is about 18,000. Qingxuan Sect can get 75% of it, which is about 13,500 spiritual stones.
Qingxuan Sect gives a fixed salary of 200 spirit stones to the foundation-building monks a year. This spirit stone mine can support 70 foundation-building monks every year. Even for a large sect like Qingxuan Sect, it is a big deal. Income.
Although the Zhang family invested 8,000 spirit stones, according to the current situation, they can only get about 700 spirit stones every year, and the cost can be recovered in more than ten years.
The Zhang family’s annual salary for the family’s foundation-building monks is temporarily set at three hundred spirit stones. With this spirit stone mine, it can support two foundation-building monks.
Moreover, the family monks who are stationed in the spirit stone mine can also use the fourth-order spiritual veins in Chaoyin Mountain to practice. By practicing on the fourth-order spiritual veins, they will not worry about the spiritual energy at all, and the cultivation speed can be faster. These are all beneficial to the family. Benefits.
Even if the Lingshi Mine is finally mined, if Qingxuan Sect wants to take back this fourth-level Lingshan Mountain, it will probably give the five major families a lot of subsidies. In general, as long as this spirit stone mine is kept, even if the family pays 400 good deeds every year, it will still make a lot of money.
