Chapter 272 The scale of sand veins (4200 words, please subscribe)
Meanwhile, on the other side.

On the top of Pingyun Mountain, Yang Clan Mountain, in the meeting hall.

The four foundation-building monks of the Yang family all gathered here.

When everyone arrived, Yang Tomorrow, the leader of the Yang clan, also informed the other three that he had just discovered a small, ownerless sand vein in a deserted land in Huaishui County.

Then he turned his head and looked at Yang Changxing, the Supreme Elder who was the most senior in the Yang family and had a cultivation level as high as the ninth level of Foundation Establishment, and asked.

"Fifth Uncle, are we, the Yang family, going to rob the ownerless sand ore vein in Huaishui County this time?"

After hearing this inquiry, Yang Changxing felt a little complicated in his heart.

He knew how much a small sandy soil vein was worth. If his family could obtain this vein, it would be an extra help.

But after all, the mineral vein is within the scope of Huaishui County, not Yunshui County where Yang's family is located.

Once the Yang family crosses the boundary and seizes the spiritual veins that belong to Huaishui County, I am afraid that it will also cause dissatisfaction among the five major foundation-building families in Huaishui County, and a situation will arise where the five families jointly take action to stop the Yang family.

Although the Yang family is strong now, it does not have the strength to fight against the five foundation-building families alone.

"That sand ore vein is not something that I, the Yang family, can touch. Furthermore, my Yang family specializes in elixir refining, and the weapon refining in the clan is not very strong. The sand ore vein will not have much effect in a short period of time."

"It's all gone, practice with peace of mind, improve your cultivation as soon as possible, and prepare for the destruction of the remaining three foundation-building families in Yunshui County." Yang Changxing said in a deep voice with thoughts swirling around him.

The other three foundation-building monks in the conference hall heard this and understood the reason. They did not stay in the conference hall for too long and left one after another.

……

After seven days.

A huge crane fell outside the Rock Scale Snake Cave.

From the crane, a rickety old man with a somewhat lifeless expression jumped down.

This rickety old man was none other than Ling Ruxian, the previous elder of the Ling family whose lifespan was about to run out.

"Peng Yun, come out and see me. I have something important to discuss."

Ling Pengyun, who was stationed at the Rock Scale Snake Cave, heard the familiar voice coming from outside the snake cave and immediately walked out of the snake cave.

"Eleventh great-grandfather, why are you here?" Ling Pengyun saw Ling Jinxian's arrival and was very confused and asked.

Ling Jinxian did not delay, and discovered a sand ore vein in a deserted and unclaimed land between the Luoxia Luo family and the Huxiao Liu family. The family informed Ling Pengyun that they were sending tribesmen to rob the sand ore vein. .

He also told Ling Pengyun to take the early-stage foundation-building fairy crane king who was stationed with him in the snake cave as soon as possible to the location of the sand vein to support Ling Yunhong and others.

By the way, Ling Pengyun was given a map of the sand ore veins.

"Okay, eleventh great-grandfather, I will go immediately and leave this place to you."

"This token was given by Senior Zhang Yan, the deputy head of Bailingmen's General Affairs Hall, who has perfect foundation-building cultivation. If something unexpected happens while you are stationed here, crush this token immediately."

"When the time comes, Senior Zhang Yan should come to support immediately." Ling Pengyun took out tokens from his arms, handed them to Ling Jin first, and then immediately called to the early stage of foundation building stationed with him at the Rock Scale Snake Cave. The Fairy Crane King and Feng Yingpeng left here.

Ling Ruxian looked at the token given by Ling Pengyun in his hand and fell into deep thought.

……

After three days.

Ling Pengyun rode the Fairy Crane King and followed the map of the mineral vein given by Ling Ruxian. He flew sixty or seventy thousand miles day and night, and finally arrived at the desolate land between the Luoxia Luo Family and the Huxiao Liu Family. , and finally found the area near the sand ore vein.

The sand ore vein is within a high mountain with a height of tens of feet. Around the high mountain, five groups of monks are stationed.

Each group of monks is stationed far apart from each other, and each has a long flag depicting the emblem of each of the five major families in Huaishui County.

Ling Pengyun glanced around and quickly found a long flag depicting the three jade series spiritual rice patterns that were the foundation of the Ling family in the past.

Those three types of jade series spiritual rice patterns are exactly the symbol of the Ling family.

After finding the place where his family members were stationed, Ling Pengyun quickly rode the Fairy Crane King and landed there.

When he jumped to the ground from the back of the Immortal Crane King, more than twenty Ling clan members stationed here heard the noise and all came out of their respective wooden houses and surrounded him.

Ling's other foundation-building cultivator clan leader Ling Yunhong and supreme elder Ling Pengxing were also among this group of people.

Ling Yunhong, whose cultivation had reached the sixth level of Foundation Establishment, noticed slightly that Ling Pengyun's aura was much stronger than a year ago, and had reached the strength of the fourth level of Foundation Establishment. A look of surprise flashed between his brows.

After thinking about it carefully, he suddenly looked surprised, his face suddenly filled with ecstasy, his eyes filled with anticipation, and he asked excitedly.

"Peng Yun, you can enter the fourth level of foundation building, but because your natal thorn vines have entered the second level and triggered spiritual power to feed you back?"

He knew Ling Pengyun's situation very clearly, and he was also familiar with the approximate amount of spiritual water in Ling Pengyun's hands.

The spiritual water in Ling Pengyun's hand alone could hardly support Ling Pengyun's breakthrough from the second level of foundation building to the fourth level of foundation building.

"That's right." Ling Pengyun didn't hide anything. After all, Ling Yunhong's cultivation level had been seen.

He first bowed hands with the more than [-] Ling clan members present to express hello, and then replied.

After Ling Yunhong received the reply, the smile on his face became brighter and he said with a smile.

"This is a great thing. In the future, the family will have a second-level spiritual planter like you. The spiritual plants planted in the Rock Scale Snake Cave where you are stationed will benefit me, the Ling family, a little bit more."

"In addition, your ability to enter the fourth floor of the Foundation Establishment will also be of great help to the family in the fight to seize the share of the mineral vein. Maybe I, the Ling family, will have a chance to compete with the Luoxia Luo family for the top spot in the fight."

On the side, Ling Pengxing, who was standing next to Ling Yunhong, heard a hint of envy and frustration in his heart.

During the Qi training period, he had always been the fastest person in Pengzi's generation.

But now, he has been surpassed in cultivation by his clan brother who he has always suppressed.

With a sigh, Ling Pengxing once again had the idea of ​​​​earning a large amount of spirit stones by killing monsters and purchasing spiritual resources that were better than the spirit gathering pills distributed by the family, so as to speed up the progress of his cultivation.

After returning to his thoughts, he also congratulated Ling Pengyun.

He and Ling Pengyun are from the same clan, and Ling Pengyun's increased combat power can actually be regarded as his confidence.

In the future, if he is not strong enough and encounters difficulties, he can also seek help from his clan brother Ling Pengyun.

"Third Ancestor, what is martial arts?" At this moment, Ling Pengyun heard the word "martial arts" from Ling Yunhong, and was immediately confused and asked.

"More than ten days ago, the five major foundation-building families in Huaishui County gathered here. No one was willing to give up the ownerless and valuable sand vein to the other, and no one was willing to lose a point. I want to gain an extra point.”

"In the following days, our five families had several small frictions with each other." "As a result, the Qi-training monks of each family suffered some minor casualties."

"In order to prevent the Qi-training tribesmen brought by each family this time, the conflict with the sandy soil vein caused too many casualties, which caused the strength of each family to be greatly reduced."

"In addition, we later discovered the mineral content of the sandy soil vein here, and learned that the sandy soil vein here is extremely large, and it is difficult for any of our tribes in Huaishui County to occupy it alone."

"The patriarchs of our five families discussed together and each family sent three monks to jointly divide this small ownerless sand vein in the form of a best-of-three battle."

"The top player in this fight will get a [-]% share of the mineral vein, while the next four companies will only get [-]%, [-]%, [-]% and a half share of the mineral vein respectively."

"The remaining [-]% share of the mine, the five heads of our families have jointly discussed and planned to sell it to Bailingmen in exchange for spirit stones. We will take this opportunity to involve Bailingmen in this mine to scare Xiao Xiao and avoid Bailingmen's displeasure. "

"As for the spiritual stones obtained from the [-]% share of the sand ore sold to Bailingmen, it will be divided equally among the five families in Huaishui County."

Ling Yunhong explained in detail.

Bailingmen's current main skill is weapon refining, so it requires a large amount of ore.

It is for this reason that the major forces in Bailingmen's territory, no matter what mineral veins are discovered, will basically pay some share of the mineral veins to Bailingmen to avoid causing Bailingmen's displeasure.

Of course, Bailingmen will not treat the forces that pay tribute to the mineral vein share badly, and will purchase the mineral vein share according to the market price.

After listening to the explanation, Ling Pengyun quite agreed with the martial arts incident.

In the world of immortal cultivation, fists have always been respected.

This approach is indeed very suitable when applied to the division of interests in this unowned mineral vein.

After thinking carefully, Ling Pengyun looked at the more than twenty tribesmen in the Qi-training period around him, and saw that several tribesmen were indeed low in breath, their faces were pale, and they looked injured.

Ling Pengyun suddenly became worried, and he followed suit and asked Ling Yunhong.

"Third Grandfather, some time ago, during the conflict between the Qi-training clan members and the monks from the other four families, were there any deaths among the clan members?"

"No, after all, it was just a small fight with the qi-training monks from the other four major families, and no one was killed. When the clan members were in danger, Pengxing and I also took action to save them, and the injured were also Relying on the healing pills given by the family during the expedition, he recovered quickly." Ling Yunhong said.

After hearing this, Ling Pengyun felt relieved.

Every member of the family is the wealth of the family.

Once a few clan members are lost, it will be extremely serious for the Ling family, which has only a small number of monks.

It will even delay Ling's development.

Once this worry dissipated, Ling Pengyun couldn't help but be a little curious about what Ling Yunhong had just said: "The mine veins here are too large, and it is difficult for any clan in Huaishui County to occupy them."

He was suddenly curious and asked.

"Third Grandfather, I wonder how big the sand vein here is?"

Ling Yunhong did not speak immediately, but dismissed the more than twenty Ling clan members in the middle stage of Qi training who had gathered around, and set up a soundproof ban around the area before speaking.

"The size of the sandy soil vein here is much larger than the small first-order medium-grade Xuanshui iron ore vein discovered by our Ling family. It stretches for more than 580 feet and contains at least 12% of the sandy soil ore. [-] jins.”

"It is precisely because that vein contains a large amount of ore that we, the five foundation-building monks of Huaishui County, have made an agreement with each other since we discovered the mineral content of that sandy soil vein not to inform our family members about it. , so as not to attract the greed of the foundation-building families in other counties and cities."

When Ling Pengyun heard the size of the mine, his heart suddenly trembled.

Ten kilograms of sand ore can be used to extract one kilogram of first-grade high-grade sand.

A pound of sand is worth ten spiritual stones on the market.

This vein contains 12 kilograms of first-grade high-grade sand ore reserves and is worth at least 12 spiritual stones.

"It's so big. Do the monks in Bailing Sect know about this?" Ling Pengyun exclaimed in surprise, but also felt a little uneasy.

Mineral veins with such a large scope are not all good things.

If there is not enough strength, the vein can also become a life-threatening talisman.

"As early as nearly a month ago, when Na Luo discovered the sand vein here alone, Na Luo planned to play a trick and reported it to Bai Lingmen in advance."

"Therefore, the five families in Huaishui County planned to use force to jointly develop the mineral veins here. Within two days, foundation-building monks from Bailingmen came here to explore the mineral content of the mineral veins."

"After the Bailingmen foundation-building monks who came here learned about the mineral content of the mineral veins here, they just stated that the five families in Huaishui County must pay [-]% of the mineral veins to Bailingmen. The Bailingmen did not care about the rest. .”

"After expressing this intention, the Bailingmen foundation-building monk left here and returned to the sect to ask the second-level formation master to come here to set up formations and protect the mineral veins here."

"As for why Bailingmen is like this, it should be because we are afraid of the identities of the Foundation Establishment families gathered here."

"After all, there are not only our five major families in Huaishui County in Bailingmen territory, but there are dozens of foundation-building families."

"Once Bailingmen forcibly takes over the mineral vein here, it will definitely cause dissatisfaction among the other foundation-building families, causing the relationship between the other foundation-building families and Bailingmen to fall apart."

Ling Yunhong understood what Ling Pengyun was worried about, so he explained it.

"That's good." Ling Pengyun said with relief.

Afterwards, Ling Pengyun, Ling Yunhong and Ling Pengxing discussed for five days the order of fighting with the other four major families and the enemies they would fight respectively. Then he said goodbye to the two of them and went alone among the Ling clan members. He used wood magic to build a small cabin, entered it to practice quietly, and waited for the competition to begin in five days.

Five days passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, the day of the battle came.

Ring noon.

Members of the five major foundation-building families in Huaishui County gathered on a piece of open land.

At this moment, the candidates for the monks from the other four major foundation-building families to participate in this battle are also clear.

The three monks from the Luoxia Luo clan who participated in the fight were Luo Minghui, the strongest in Huaishui County, who had the ninth level of foundation building, his Taoist companion Li Xia, who had the third level of foundation building, and his son Zhu Luo Qiuming is on the third floor.

The remaining three families have not reached three foundation-building monks, and only Huxiao Liu's strength is not bad.

The participants in the battle were Liu Daozhou, the leader of the Liu family who was in the middle stage of foundation building, Yan Yunhu, the clan guardian spirit beast of the Liu family who was in the middle stage of foundation building, and an elder of the Liu family who had perfected his Qi training.

The three monks from the Qingzhu Wang family and the Yunwu Wen family who participated in this battle, except for the head of the family, were all Qi Perfection cultivators who were used to make up the number of people.

All the five major families have arrived, and the fighting has officially begun.

Ling Yunhong, the leader of the Ling clan, had the idea of ​​competing with the Luoxia Luo clan for the top spot because Ling Pengyun had entered the middle stage of foundation building, so when the battle began, he took the lead and walked out of his own cultivator team.
