Chapter 10 New Family Residence
After Zhou Changyi finished speaking, there was a whisper from the audience.
"A first-level middle-grade spiritual vein! I didn't expect that my Zhou family would have another first-level spiritual vein. It's really the blessing of our ancestors!"
"It's really a blessing for my Zhou family. With this first-level middle-grade spiritual vein, we can add more income to the family every year. It's just around the corner to buy the next foundation-building pill!"
"..."
The most excited person was the second elder Zhou Changping.
Although the second elder was in the hunting team and was the first person to know the information, he was still so excited that he couldn't stop trembling when he heard it again. His old face was full of joy and he couldn't speak for a long time.
At that time, he was the one in the family who had the most hope of breaking through the foundation-building period, but in the end, because of his unstable mind, he failed, and the family's decades of accumulation were in vain.
Although the clan members did not say anything, Zhou Changping still felt guilty and could not get over it. He had never received a salary in these years and had been working diligently for the family, trying to repay the cost of the foundation-building pill, so he almost dedicated his whole life to the family.
An elder could not help but ask: "Brother, what is the terrain of this island in the lake like? What specialties can be produced?"
"Yes, yes, have you ever conducted a field survey to see which spiritual plants are suitable for planting? Are there any natural treasures in the lake?"
The real benefits are what everyone cares about most. If there is only one spiritual vein without any resources, the value will be greatly reduced.
Zhou Changyi was serious and unsmiling. He said, "I have personally seen it. It is a large lake hidden in the undeveloped primitive mountains."
"There are three islands in the lake, with an area of about 15 to 18 acres. The terrain is flat and the soil is fertile, which is very suitable for growing spiritual grains and spiritual plants. There are also natural first-level lower-grade spiritual fields, about 30 acres, evenly distributed on the three islands, and two acres of first-level middle-grade spiritual fields."
Everyone took a breath again, and their hearts couldn't help but "thump thump thump".
Just these 30 acres of naturally existing spiritual fields are already valuable, not to mention the two acres of first-level middle-grade spiritual fields, which are even more significant.
But this is not the end. Zhou Changyi continued to say, "There are no valuable spiritual plants on the island, but there are some other resources that may be used."
"Other resources? Oh, my big brother, don't keep me in suspense, hurry up and tell me!" An old man urged impatiently.
The old man was the fourth elder Zhou Changyan, tall and burly, with a full beard, and he kept stroking his beard anxiously, almost balding it.
Zhou Changyi didn't tolerate it, glared at him fiercely, and said in a cold voice: "How can you shout and yell at the ancestral worship meeting? Changyan, you are not young anymore, I will fine you three months' salary!"
The fourth elder Zhou Changyan's face turned the color of pig liver, and he wanted to say something, but he didn't say it.
He himself didn't expect that even if he became a family elder, he would still be punished by his eldest brother, and in front of many juniors, it was really a bit embarrassing.
In the family, except for the clan leader Zhou Yonghan, the head of the family Zhou Changyi is the most powerful person, and he is usually very strict and harsh to the clan members.
Not only the juniors are afraid, but even other elders of the same generation have to be afraid in front of the head of the Zhou family.
Seeing that everyone had quieted down, Zhou Changyi continued to speak: "The two resources I mentioned are the feces of the blue-winged herons and the white-scaled perch in the lake."
"There are many blue-winged herons living in that area. In the wetland not far away, there is a large amount of blue-winged heron feces, which are extremely nutritious and suitable for replenishing the fertility of the spiritual field and extending the service life of the spiritual field."
"As for the white-scaled perch, it is a kind of fish that grows in that lake. The quality ranges from the first-grade lower grade to the first-grade upper grade. The meat is plump and tender, and it has rich spiritual energy, but the number is relatively rare."
These two resources play a vital role in the development of the family.
On the one hand, it can maintain the long-term development of the spiritual field. As long as the blue-winged herons do not fly away, it can continue to obtain benefits.
However, when collecting feces, you need to guard against the blue-winged herons. Although the individual strength of this monster is not strong, it moves in groups. Ordinary cultivators have no way to deal with them. Once they are besieged, it will be very dangerous.
On the other hand, the value of the white-scaled perch is also very high. Whether it is eaten by yourself or sold to other families, it can bring a considerable amount of income.
The total value of all the benefits exceeded 5,000 spirit stones, so this deal was a win-win.
Having said that, everyone had a general understanding of the new settlement.
The question now needed to be considered was who should be sent there to station and manage.
Zhou Yonghan, the strongest patriarch in the family, must be stationed in Tianchi Mountain to guard the family base.
Among the seven elders in the family, Zhou Changyi served as the head of the Zhou family and the eldest elder, and he also needed to stay in Tianchi Mountain all year round.
The other six elders, the fifth elder Zhou Changhai and the third elder Zhou Changyuan, have been stationed in Tiemu Mountain for many years. The importance of Tiemu Mountain is self-evident and they must not be easily transferred.
The second elder Zhou Changping needs to lead the family hunting team and is also an indispensable existence.
The fourth elder Zhou Changyan and the sixth elder Zhou Changguang are stationed in the shops in Sifangfang City and Luyuanfang City respectively, and they are also people who cannot be transferred.
Sixth Elder Zhou Changguang spoke up and said, "Brother, Luyuan Market is quite stable. How about transferring me there? It should be easier for me to watch over it in the early stages."
Everyone nodded slightly. Luyuan Market is a large market opened by Qingshan Sect. There are strong men from the Purple Mansion in charge. It will be relatively stable. Even if there are no strong men stationed, there will be no big problems.
"No need."
Zhou Changyi refused directly and said, "It's just a first-level middle-grade spiritual vein. You old guys don't need it. Stay in your position. I have other plans for this matter."
"Other plans?"
Sixth Elder Zhou Changguang was a little confused and asked, "Are you going to let the Shou generation go?"
Nowadays, the real pillars of the family are still the "Chang" generation. As long as they have good talents, most of them have reached the late stage of Qi Refining and hold important positions in various positions in the family.
And the "Shou" generation has gradually grown up. The strongest Zhou Shourong has successfully broken through to the ninth level of Qi Refining and became the first "Shou" generation elder.
Zhou Changyan nodded slightly: "It's not impossible to let the Shou generation do it. It's time to give these little bastards some experience. "
Zhou Changyi took a sip of tea and said, "What I mean is... let the Dao generation try."
"It's not a big problem. Although these kids are a little young, we old men are watching them. There won't be any problems... No, what did you say? Let the Dao generation go?"
Fourth Elder Zhou Changyan was about to agree, but he reacted immediately and raised his voice a few notches.
The other clansmen below also looked at the head of the family in surprise, thinking they had heard it wrong.
