Chapter 279 White Stone Mine

Yang Zhiwei looked around vigilantly, sorted out his thoughts, and said seriously.

"Half a year ago, we found a white stone vein on the seabed..."

As Yang Zhiwei told the story, Chen Qingyun knew the purpose of the Yang family's visit this time.

Half a year ago, two young monks of the Yang family chased a sword-headed flying fish into an underwater mountain range while hunting monsters in the sea.

Inadvertently, they discovered a second-level low-grade white stone vein.

White stone is a second-level spiritual ore. Its body is whiter than snow, and it contains both water and gold properties. It is widely used in refining magic tools and making formations.

Very few white stones with excellent quality can be used to reinforce magic weapons.

White stone is a scarce ore in the Xingsha Islands. The price of one piece is about 300 spirit stones, which is equivalent to two first-level medium-grade magic tools.

The Yang family is lucky to be able to discover such a spiritual ore, which is much more valuable than the hematite ore of the Chen family.

But the other party could reveal this news openly, and did not keep it as a secret and make a fortune quietly, so there must be something fishy.

Is it that the Yang family cannot occupy this white stone vein, and wants to seek external assistance?

Sure enough, Yang Zhiwei's subsequent words confirmed Chen Qingyun's guess.

According to him, in that white stone vein, there lived a group of monsters, water toad beasts.

According to preliminary statistics, the number of water toad beasts is about 600, among which there is a third-level water toad beast king.

Facing such a strong group of monsters, it is simply a foolish dream for the Yang family to seize this white stone vein, and don't even think about it.

Therefore, they can only keep this matter strictly confidential and wait for the family to give birth to a purple mansion cultivator one day before making plans.

However, it is not easy for a Qi refining family to be promoted to a purple mansion family?

Yang Zhiwei speculated that in order to achieve this goal, the Yang family must continue to struggle for at least 50 years.

If they are willing to spend time and work hard, the group of water toad beasts can also reproduce and strengthen the strength of the group.

From this point of view, the Yang family knew that they were not strong enough, and they had thought about seeking external assistance and cooperating with other families, including the Chen family.

However, at that time, the Chen family was still a foundation-building family, and they were also unable to fight against the group of water toads.

Looking at the entire Xingsha Islands, the only one who had a chance of winning was the Yanhuang Mountain Jiang family.

The Jiang family mainly practiced fire-attributed skills. Even if their strength would be reduced in underwater battles, as long as they worked together, it would not be difficult to have a 60% to 70% chance of winning.

After thinking about it, the Yang family finally did not choose the Jiang family as an assistant, because they were worried that the Jiang family would kill people to silence them afterwards.

The Jiang family was famous for being domineering and doing their own thing in the Xingsha Islands.

Even if they blatantly destroyed the Yang family, how could the major Xingsha families dare to step forward? They could only blame and criticize them.

Not counting on the Jiang family, and unwilling to give up such a huge opportunity, the Yang family kept silent about the existence of the white stone vein.

Until the last two days, when they learned that Chen Qingyun had broken through the Purple Mansion Stage, several senior members of the Yang family discussed and decided to seek the Chen family's full assistance to jointly seize the White Stone Mine.

Why did they look for the Chen family? Naturally, strength is the first factor and is indispensable.

Chen Qingyun himself guessed the second point.

When he galloped on the sea and rescued the Yang family, the Chen family left a very good impression in the minds of the Yang family.

Chen Qingyun is powerful and righteous, so he must not be a treacherous and sinister person.

The reputation of the Chen family in Lingjian Island in Xingsha is also good. They behave in a disciplined manner and have no bad reputation. This gradually caught the eyes of the Yang family.

After learning about the Yang family's idea, Chen Qingyun pondered for a moment and commented lightly: "The White Stone Mine is a good resource."

It was just a simple comment. Seeing that there seemed to be a chance for cooperation, Yang Zhiwei's eyes suddenly lit up.

He couldn't help but ask, "What does the senior mean?"

Chen Qingyun did not agree readily, nor did he refuse.

After asking a few questions about the current situation of the white stone mine, he directly responded: "If your Yang family is sincere in cooperating, then you might as well have a good talk with my family leader."

Yang Zhiwei understood what Chen Qingyun meant, and a smile appeared on his face.

"Then according to your meaning, if the noble clan leader agrees to cooperate, then this matter is settled. Are you willing to take action?"

"Yes, I will summon the clan leader for you first."

Chen Qingyun didn't say much, and directly summoned Chen Xianming and others.

How sincere is the Yang family, whether it is good or ill-intentioned, let the elders of the family judge and discuss.

The white stone mine is very attractive and can greatly promote the future development of the Chen family. The opportunity cannot be missed.

If what the Yang family said is true, we can discuss the profit sharing and other matters in detail later.

Now, it is not a disadvantage to contact them in advance, just to see what the other party is up to.

Now that the head of the Chen family has been summoned, there is more hope for cooperation. Yang Zhiwei smiled even happier and said eagerly.

"Of course, of course. I'll have a good chat with Patriarch Chen."

"That water toad beast king is also in the early stage of the Purple Mansion. As long as you, the senior, take action and our two families work together, we will be able to take over the white stone vein."

He could see Chen Qingyun's thoughts and simply followed his wishes.

The Yang family has thought about finding powerful independent cultivators or sects to cooperate.

Independent cultivators are solitary and always put their own interests first. They have no standards and act according to their own ideas.

If they really turn against each other and kill people afterwards, the Yang family will be digging their own grave.

For example, the exploitation of Wuyin Island, Chonglou and other sects is too serious.

With so many disciples to feed, it is conceivable that they will occupy a lot of the harvest in the distribution of mineral vein benefits.

Moreover, when the immortal cultivation family gets along with the sect, they will always subconsciously develop a master-servant relationship and feel alienated.

The sect is used to being high and mighty, and the family is used like a slave.

The Yang family feels uncomfortable cooperating with the five major sects such as Xingzong. It is better to find a immortal cultivation family to cooperate.

As a family, at least everyone's development nature, goals, and family order are similar, and it is easy to contact each other.

"Qingyun, who is this?"

When Chen Xianming, Chen Daoren, Chen Daolin, and Chen Daohai, four old-timers, arrived, Chen Xianming asked about Yang Zhiwei's origins.

These days, several people have come for Chen Qingyun, and they are not surprised by this.

This time, calling them over is the first time.

Yang Zhiwei smiled slightly and introduced himself sensibly.

"Hello, fellow Taoists. I am Yang Zhiwei, the second elder of the Yang family of Hongshan Island. I am sorry to bother you today. I hope you can forgive me."

"Oh? It turns out that you are from the Yang family. Nice to meet you."

Chen Xianming bowed his hands. Thinking that his family and the Yang family had no contact, he didn't know why Chen Qingyun called them over. He smiled and said meaningfully.

"I heard that the Yang family rarely appeared in the world and focused on cultivation and development. There is no intersection between our two families. It is a rare guest for fellow Taoist Yang to come today."
