Chapter 501: Mineral Vein Obtained

These blocks will be further processed and polished for subsequent inscription of spiritual patterns.

At the camp, as the black ink stones were continuously transported back, the weapon refiners and formation masters also began a new round of busy work.

Large and small magic weapon bodies and array components are constantly being refined from the smelting workshop. Some are specially used to build city walls, while others are used to assist transportation or excavation.

At the same time, the formation masters were not idle either.

They used the newly arrived materials to successively set up several small protective arrays around the fairy city to prevent large-scale invasion of monsters.

"Father, if we want to officially mine black ink stone, we must submit an application to the alliance headquarters and pay a certain mining tax. Because although this vein is five hundred miles away from the fairy city, the alliance has jurisdiction."

Ye Shengyu said.

Ye Changsheng couldn't help but frown slightly when he heard this.

He is a decisive person. He just thought about it briefly and nodded: "That's good, so as to avoid being criticized by others in the future. It just so happens that I have to go to the alliance headquarters to do a few things, so let's solve them together."

He explained on the spot: "Xue Qiushan, the mining of the ore veins will be slowed down first to avoid unnecessary trouble caused by the alliance discovering that you are mining beyond the scope. Just maintain the basic output. Wait until I get the permission. Officially scale up.”

Xue Qiushan immediately responded: "Yes, senior, don't worry!"

Later, Ye Changsheng embarked on a journey to the alliance headquarters.

After three months of flying, Ye Changsheng finally arrived at the alliance station.

After so many years of construction, although it is the temporary residence of the alliance, the building is becoming more and more complete.

There are still people coming and going at the gate of the city, including casual cultivators with a cold temperament, as well as full-time personnel wearing official alliance robes, as well as powerful sects coming in and out.

As soon as you enter the city gate, you can immediately see shops lined up on both sides of the wide main street. Magic weapons, elixirs, and rare materials are all available. Shuttles or flying swords are constantly passing by from high in the sky, showing the prosperity of this city.

It is estimated that after the human-monster war, this place will become a fifth-level fairy city with complete facilities.

Ye Changsheng first went to find his friend Su Fangyuan.

Su Fangyuan's official residence is located in a quiet alley in the inner city.

The bluestone paving here looks like carefully carved jade bricks, which looks simple and elegant at first glance.

There are several spiritual trees planted in the alleys, exuding a faint fragrance.

There were two alliance guards stationed at the door. After seeing Ye Changsheng, they immediately saluted and let him go.

"Lao Su, you came here uninvited, but don't mind me being a bother."

As soon as Ye Changsheng entered the door, he said in a slightly joking voice. The relationship between him and Su Fangyuan had always been informal.

A hearty laughter came from the lobby: "Haha, I'm waiting for you! Are you here this time about the black ink stone vein?"

While talking, Su Fangyuan walked out quickly. He was slightly chubby, his face was red, he looked very kind, and his eyes were smiling and witty.

Ye Changsheng also laughed: "An old friend is an old friend. I am really well-informed. I really can't hide anything from you!"

After the two looked at each other and laughed, Su Fangyuan asked the maid to bring the spiritual tea and invited Ye Changsheng to take a seat in the hall. Ye Shengyu and the accompanying monks also sat down separately.

Su Fangyuan exchanged a few words with Ye Changsheng first, then changed the subject and got to the point.

"This black ink stone vein is five hundred miles away from your Yejia Immortal City, and the exploration volume is quite considerable. If we can successfully obtain the mining license, the profits will be considerable. But..."

Su Fangyuan deliberately prolonged the ending, "This requires a lot of spiritual stones, management and interpersonal relationships. I have recently dealt with the Alliance Mining Department, and they will never let go easily."

Ye Changsheng took a deep breath: "I can still afford some spiritual stones. The key is that I want to buy out the ownership of this mine in one go, instead of just taking a short-term license. Since it falls under the jurisdiction of the alliance, then I will simply Use the spirit stone to buy it once and for all.”

After hearing this, Su Fangyuan thought for a moment and smiled deeper: "Okay, you are generous enough. I can help you with this matter. Just prepare the spirit stones and I will handle the rest of the paperwork for you. It only takes three months." I'm afraid these negotiations will have to be done in person, and I don't have enough manpower alone. You can stay here for this period of time, and it won't be too late to leave after the procedures are approved."

Ye Changsheng nodded in agreement: "No hurry, no rush, I also happen to want to buy a batch of materials in the city for the construction of the fairy city, so I can kill two birds with one stone."

When Ye Changsheng finally got rid of the cumbersome approvals and negotiations and held the jade token symbolizing ownership in his hand, he felt a sense of joy.

And his old friend Su Fangyuan helped a lot at critical moments, managing various relationships inside and outside the alliance and ensuring that the approval process went smoothly.

Naturally, Ye Changsheng also paid a full 500 million spirit stones for this token.

But when he thought that the value of the black ink stone vein itself was much more than that, he couldn't help but feel secretly happy.

As long as the Immortal City is built, this vein will continue to generate income for the Ye family in the next few hundred years, and the investment will be repaid quickly.

Su Fangyuan looked at the joy on his face and couldn't help but joked: "You've made a lot of money this time. If the Ye family spreads its branches in the future, maybe it can rely on this vein to create greater opportunities for the younger generations." ’s foundation.”

Ye Changsheng raised his hands in salute and said solemnly: "Old Su, you have also contributed a lot. If there is need in the future, the Ye family will definitely help."

"Haha, just be friends."

Su Fangyuan laughed and patted Ye Changsheng on the shoulder.

Two years passed in a blink of an eye.

During this period of time, various construction projects in Yejiaxian City were carried out in an orderly manner.

The towering tower foundations have been completed, and the huge foundation pits have been dug almost perfectly.

During the entire construction process, black inkstone, as an important main material, was continuously transported into the construction site, from dozens of piles at the beginning to thousands of giant ore blocks stacked like hills today.

Every once in a while, the roar of magic weapons and the sonorous voices of the weapon refiners would come and go in the depths of the camp, creating a busy and lively scene.

The work on the other side of the vein is also progressing smoothly.

After obtaining the official mining rights, Xue Qiushan no longer tied his hands and organized more Ji-Building cultivators to participate in the mining, and sent more than a dozen Zifu monks for guidance.

From the initial shallow excavation, the mine goes deep into the ground hundreds of feet, and the deeper you go down, the more high-purity black inkstone you find.

Every time Xue Qiushan mentioned this matter, he was beaming with excitement.

"The reserves of this vein are far beyond imagination. The purity of the core zone alone is enough to last the fairy city for ten years. If we continue to dig deeper, there will be even higher-grade ores!"

Xue Qiushan was very happy.

With the interweaving of various magic weapons and talisman formations, the prototype of the Ye Family Fairy City can already be seen.
