Chapter 271 The ownerless sand vein (3800 words, please subscribe)
Ling Yunfu took out a bulging storage bag from his arms and handed it to Ling Pengyun, saying.

"Of course I am willing." Ling Pengyun was already short of spiritual stones. Now that he heard that he could earn spiritual stones by refining magic weapons for his family, he naturally agreed happily.

Seeing that Ling Pengyun agreed, Ling Yunan's face became more happy and he said.

"Peng Yun, it's hard for you to come to my place today. I'll ask your grandmothers to prepare a feast for you later. I'll also take out a few jars of good wine and call for those who are refining the magic talismans in the quiet room next door. Brother Yunfeng clan, would you like to have a snack with me?"

Ling Yunfeng is the third elder of the family and the only first-level high-grade talisman maker in the family. He has been following Ling Yunfu all year round to refine spiritual talismans.

Once the magic talisman is refined, it is sold directly through the shop run by Ling Yunfu.

Ling Pengyun naturally felt meaningless about the reception of Feng Yan, so he nodded in agreement.

Next, he rested and meditated in this quiet room.

Ling Yunfu left the quiet room and called the three wives and concubines who were guarding the business of Jubao Pavilion to cook.

The other three wives and concubines are still entertaining visitors in the Jubao Pavilion.

When night fell, Ling Yunfu's three wives and concubines prepared a large table of dishes. Ling Yunfu, the host, also called Ling Pengyun, who was meditating in the quiet room, to come out to eat.

Ling Yunfu's three wives and concubines are very good at cooking, and the dishes they make are also very delicious.

Ling Pengyun was not stingy with his praise, and directly praised the three grandmothers who prepared this large table of dishes for their beautiful people and skillful hands.

This also made the three female family members who were cooking very happy.

The atmosphere at the dinner table gradually became harmonious.

Ling Pengyun and the six female relatives, as well as the two seniors Ling Yunfu and Ling Yunfeng, gradually became warmer and chatted happily, chatting while eating dishes and drinking wine.

During the chat, Ling Pengyun also learned from Ling Yunfu and Ling Yunfeng that half a month ago, there was a foundation-building fire python at the boundary of Jiao Python Lake that successfully broke through to the golden elixir.

In addition, the original golden elixir initial stage water dragon in Jiao Python Lake, and the number of golden elixir monsters within the boundary of Jiao Python Lake has returned to two.

However, after the fire python in the foundation-building perfection state of the python lake broke through the golden elixir, the monsters in the python lake area remained as before, very calm, and did not cause turmoil because of the addition of another golden elixir monster.

After all, the fire python has just entered the realm of golden elixir and needs a long time to stabilize its cultivation.

Except for this.

Ling Pengyun also learned from Liu Qing, one of Ling Yun Fu's concubines, that she was pregnant, but the child in her belly had only been pregnant for a month, so the signs of pregnancy were not obvious.

Ling Pengyun was quite happy that her grandma Liu Qing was pregnant, and at the same time she was somewhat looking forward to whether the fetus in Liu Qing's belly would have spiritual roots.

When he first joined the Foundation Establishment Association, he promised Ling Yunfu's father, Ling Jinxian, the previous generation elder of the family, to take care of his descendants with spiritual roots in the future.

However, among the many heirs under Ling Yunfu, not one of them had spiritual roots, which also made the matter delay again and again.

Ling Ruxian was kind to Ling Pengyun, and Ling Pengyun didn't want to see the inheritance of monks in Ling Ruxian's lineage broken.

After chatting with the elders about other things, the Fengfeng Banquet lasted for nearly an hour before it ended.

After dinner.

Ling Pengyun still had to garrison at the Rock Scale Snake Cave, so he didn't stay any longer. He chatted with two elders, Ling Yunfu and Ling Yunfeng, before saying goodbye and leaving the Jubao Pavilion.

After leaving the Jubao Pavilion, Ling Pengyun went to the "Bailing Weapon Hall", the largest shop selling magic weapons in Tuyuanfang City.

He spent the remaining three hundred spirit stones on his body to purchase ten spiritual materials for the first-level mid-grade inner-armor magic weapon with the highest success rate in refining.

After doing this, Ling Pengyun left Tuyuanfang City and returned to the Rock Scale Snake Cave.

As for the fact that the weapon refining materials were not purchased directly from the treasure gathering pavilion opened by the family, it was also because there were no such materials in the treasure gathering pavilion.

The weapon refining materials collected in the Jubao Pavilion were all entrusted to Ling Pengyun for refining the magic weapon.

……

After a month.

A communication talisman quickly flew into the Ling Clan Mountain and landed next to the family elder Ling Pengliang who was looking through the account books at the counter of the General Affairs Hall halfway up the mountain.

Ling Pengliang, who failed to break through and build the foundation half a year ago, recovered from the injuries to his meridians in just one month thanks to the help of the healing pill and rejuvenation pill given by Ling Yunhong. In addition, the injuries suffered were not serious due to the failure to break through and build the foundation.

At that time, he succeeded Ling Ruxian and once again assumed the chores required for his position as the family elder.

In addition to the fact that his cultivation had reached the perfection of Qi training, Ling Yunhong also removed the code name of Ling Pengliang as "Acting Grand Elder" and officially appointed Ling Pengliang as the Grand Elder of the family.

A family elder must at least practice Qi and perfect his cultivation. If his cultivation is not up to standard, he can barely hold the position of a family elder by learning a profound skill.

Ling Pengliang's expression moved slightly when he saw a communication talisman falling beside him.

He waved and took the communication talisman lying beside him in his hand. After carefully examining the contents, he looked shocked.

He immediately applied a lightening technique, left the General Affairs Hall, went up to the top of the mountain, and knocked on the doors of Hongyun Cave and Xingchen Cave respectively.

After a while, the doors of Hongyun and Xingchen caves opened respectively.

Ling Yunhong, the leader of the Ling clan, and Ling Pengxing, the supreme elder of the Ling clan, who were in seclusion in the two caves, also walked out of them respectively.

"Peng Liang, why did you summon us?" Ling Yunhong asked doubtfully.

If there was nothing major, Ling Pengliang, as the great elder, would not disturb his hard work at all.

Ling Pengxing, who had left the cave on his back feet, also cast a questioning look at Ling Pengliang at this moment.

"Third Grandfather and Third Brother, according to a report from a Luoxialuo clan member bribed by our clan, a Luoxialuo clan member has a piece of land that stretches for hundreds of miles between his own territory and the Huxiao Liu clan's territory, and no one wants it. In the desolate land, a small first-grade high-grade sand ore vein was discovered.”

"However, this news was leaked, and the Huxiao Liu family on the border with the Luoxia Luo family also got the news. Now the two families are confronting each other in that barren land that stretches for hundreds of miles, arguing about the ownership of the mineral vein."

"It's just that the sandy soil ore vein is located in an unowned and desolate land, and it does not belong to any family's territory. I'm afraid it will be difficult for the Luo family and the Liu family to argue about who is better. Even if the two families decide the decision, I'm afraid Bailing It’s not easy to intervene on the other side of the door, lest it affect the few fair things.”

"The ownership of the sand ore will probably have to be decided by the Luo family and the Liu family."

"Third Grandfather, Third Brother, in this situation, do we, the Ling clan, want to get involved? After all, the mine belongs to no one." "My Ling clan now has four foundation-building combat powers. Although apart from Yun Hong Grandpa, you have the cultivation level of the middle stage of foundation construction, while the third brother, brother Pengyun, and the fairy crane king only have the cultivation level of the early stage of foundation construction."

"But when it comes to the number of foundation-building combatants, my Ling family should be the top of the five foundation-building families in Huaishui County. If I don't step forward to intervene, I will really be unwilling to do so."

"Furthermore, the Huxiao Liu family and the Luoxia Luo family are not weak in strength. The former family has two mid-stage foundation-building warriors, and the latter has one late-stage foundation-building warrior and two early-stage foundation-building warriors. Combat strength.”

"If that valuable first-grade small-scale sand ore vein is allowed to be obtained by either of those two families, I am afraid that they will rely on that vein to increase the strength of their clan again."

"Such a situation is very unfavorable to my future plans as the Ling family."

Ling Pengliang looked excited and said carefully.

At the border of every foundation-building family, there is basically an unclaimed and desolate land without any spiritual veins within hundreds of miles.

Outside the boundaries of the Ling clan, there is also a barren land that stretches for hundreds of miles.

Ling Yunhong and Ling Pengxing looked shocked when they heard this.

Sand is a good product for refining earth-attribute magic weapons. A first-grade high-grade sand ore vein indicates that the sand ore in it has at least reached a first-grade high-grade realm.

One kilogram of first-grade high-grade sand on the market is worth at least ten spiritual stones, and the ore volume of a small sand vein can reach at least twenty thousand kilograms.

Twenty thousand kilograms of sand ore is enough to extract sand worth at least 2 yuan of spiritual stones.

And this is just to calculate the value of the sandy soil vein based on the lowest mineral content of the small vein.

"That small sand ore vein is valuable, and it is an unclaimed land. Our Ling family is in short supply of spiritual stones now, so this vein is a good source of spiritual stones."

"Furthermore, there must be a small amount of second-level sand crystals in the small first-level high-grade sand mineral veins. The sand crystals are good materials for refining second-level defensive magic weapons."

"If it is available, I can also refine a few second-level defensive weapons."

"This is a waste of advantage. Naturally, I, the Ling family, cannot let it go."

"Pengxing, what do you think?" Ling Yunhong asked Ling Pengxing with a bit of excitement in his eyebrows.

Although he is the leader of the Ling clan, he is not solely responsible for the family. He also needs to ask other senior clan leaders for their opinions.

Now he, Ling Pengliang and Ling Pengxing are the only three senior members of the family.

"Third Grandfather, I also think we should go and snatch it."

"My Ling family has four foundation-building combat forces. In terms of the number of foundation-building combat forces, my Ling family has the most among the five major families in Huaishui County, and we should indeed occupy more interests."

Although Ling Pengxing was not good at family management, he still understood the value of the mineral veins.

Of course, his attitude of seizing the sandy soil vein this time also had some selfish motives.

A year ago, three months after the end of the Monster Rebellion, he bid for three bottles of century-old Evergreen Spiritual Water at the Xiyang Auction, which only happened once in a century.

But the spiritual power contained in those three bottles of century-old evergreen spiritual water only allowed him to advance from the second level of Foundation Establishment to the peak of the second level of Foundation Establishment, leaving him still stuck within the second level of Foundation Establishment.

Although the family supplies him with six second-level low-grade spirit-gathering pills every year for training, and there are also second-level low-grade spirit gathering arrays to help him.

But even so, it would take him at least two or three years to break through to the third level of foundation building.

In the next realm, if there is no help from spiritual beings such as spiritual water, he may need to waste more time.

If he wants to break through the current realm quickly and reach a higher level, this valuable mineral vein is an opportunity.

Ling Yunhong was overjoyed when he saw that Ling Pengxing and Ling Pengliang both agreed to this proposal.

"Okay, since the three of us all agree on this matter, let's make it a decision. I, the Ling family, will go and snatch the sand ore vein from the Huxiao Liu family and the Luoxia Luo family."

"The barren land that stretches for hundreds of miles at the junction of Luoxia Luo Clan and Huxiao Liu Clan is tens of thousands of miles away from my Ling Clan. It's quite far away."

"In order to prevent the sand ore vein from finding its owner during this period, Pengxing and I took the first step."

"Peng Liang, you quickly summon the masters of mid-level Qi training and above who are stationed on low-level spiritual veins in various places within the family, and then summon Yun Qian to return to the clan, and let Yun Qian lead the team to support me and Peng Xing."

Speaking of this, Ling Yunhong paused.

Then he spoke again.

"Only the two foundation builders, Peng Xing and I, as well as the family members who are above the middle stage of Qi training, are still a little weak."

"In this case, Peng Liang, you are sending someone to transfer the matter of the sand ore veins to Peng Yun who is stationed in the Rock Scale Snake Cave in Tuyuan County, Yuanzhou newly developed by Bailingmen, and let him lead the family to build the foundation. In the early stage, the Immortal Crane King rushed directly to the sand ore vein to support us and prepare for a war with the Liu family and the Luo family."

"In addition, you are sending people to the Rock Scale Snake Cave to prevent any accidents in the Rock Scale Snake Cave caused by Peng Yun and the family's Immortal Crane King leaving the Rock Scale Snake Cave."

"After all, the spiritual plants planted in the Rock Scale Snake Cave are also of extraordinary value."

"That's it for now, Peng Liang, I'll leave the backup to you."

After Ling Yunhong said this, he asked about the location of the sand ore vein, then called over a fairy crane who was in the late stage of Qi training, and rode the crane with Ling Pengxing and quickly flew away from Lingxiao Mountain.

Ling Pengliang, who was left alone on the top of the mountain, looked at the departing figures of Ling Yunhong and Ling Pengxing, with a bright light in his eyes.

"If the Third Grandfather and the others can really take over that sandy soil vein, within ten years, the family will be able to collect the spiritual stones to purchase foundation-building spiritual objects for me."

"By then, I will have the experience of attacking the foundation for the first time, and I will definitely be able to successfully build the foundation."

He just proposed to seize the family to seize the ownerless sand vein, and he had the same selfish motives as Ling Pengxing.

However, the sand ore veins are indeed helpful to the Ling family, otherwise this proposal would not be approved by Ling Yunhong, the clan leader.

After being stunned for a while, Ling Pengliang quickly left the top of the mountain and began to get busy, preparing war supplies for the tribe, sending tribesmen in the mountain to summon tribesmen stationed on low-level spiritual veins outside, and other trivial matters.
