Chapter 167 Preparing Spiritual Stones

Li Zigong's decision can be regarded as taking care of the immortal cultivating family in Taicheng County, and Zhang Zhixuan and others also agree with this decision.

After the discussion was finalized, Li Zigong and other monks from the Qingxuan Sect stayed here temporarily to guard the Lingshi Mine in Chaoyin Mountain and kill the idle monks who entered the area to prevent any news about the Lingshi Mine from being leaked.

The five major families in Taicheng County returned to raise resources and mobilize manpower.

The Zhang family's share of the Lingshi mine is only 3%. Although the shares are smaller, the resources invested are also relatively small.

Since Zhang Zhixuan established the foundation, the family's finances have gradually improved. Especially after he became a third-level alchemist, his success rate in refining Jinya Dan and Youhuan Dan has greatly increased, and he can earn a large amount of income every year when amortized.

The sale of spiritual wine opened up the market, and the White Jade Queen Bee successfully advanced, resumed the business of transporting spiritual rice to the Southern Wilderness, gained control of the Baibao Pavilion on the Black Mountain, excavated green hills on the Black Python Mountain, and expanded the Lingjing Mountain Lingtian. With the development speed, Ten Thousand Snake Cave was successfully developed.

All these things have increased the family's wealth bit by bit. Now, for necessary expenses, the family can save an income of more than a thousand spiritual stones every year.

Since three years ago, the family's foundation-building monks have begun to receive fixed offerings, and can receive three hundred spirit stones every year.

Since the family has been declining year by year and Jiuhua Mountain has been lost, this is the first time that monks in the foundation-building period have received family offerings. Before that, both the clan leader and Zhang Zhixuan had to use alchemy and talisman making techniques to subsidize the family finances.

Now that the family's income has improved, even if the three foundation-building monks receive nine hundred spiritual stones as offerings each year, they can still have a balance of two to three hundred spiritual stones every year.

If you catch up with the major income items in any year, you can save one or two thousand spiritual stones that year. Over the past few years, the family's spiritual stones in public accounts have exceeded 3,000.

After the loss of Jiuhua Mountain, this was the best time for the family's finances after the fourth uncle cultivated the spiritual veins of Lingjing Mountain. Compared with those years ago, although the Zhang family has saved some money, it basically does not have much income, and fundamentally it is still unable to make ends meet. Every year that goes by, the burden on the family becomes more severe.

Thirty years later, the family's annual income now exceeds three thousand spirit stones, which has almost doubled. There are also more than thirty monks in the family. The family also has two foundation-building pills. If two more people successfully build the foundation, the family's strength will be stronger.

Returning to Tiantai Peak from Chaoyin Mountain, Zhang Zhixuan told the clan leader what Li Zigong meant. Although the family had a solid foundation, it could not produce six thousand spiritual stones for a while.

However, a good opportunity to invest in the Lingshi mine does not come at any time. Even if it is to sell iron, 6,000 Lingshi will be allocated to invest.

For this reason, the patriarch Zhang Leqian could only summon the backbone of the family who were in the advanced stage of Qi training and above, hoping that each of them could come up with some spiritual stones to fill the gap.

Soon, following the notification from the clan leader, the monks who were in the late stage of Qi training and above came to the mountain behind Tiantai Peak one after another.

Even the key monks and clan leaders from Lingjing Mountain and Ten Thousand Snake Cave, which were not too far away, did not miss them and notified them one after another.

Zhang Zhixuan saw the family monks gathered together in the cave. Compared with thirty years ago, there were eight or nine more monks in the late stage of Qi training in the family.

Most of these monks are already Zhi generation monks, while the previous generation of Meng generation monks only have about ten people, only about one third of them.

Even the family elders at the ninth level of Qi training already have three monks of the same generation, and the monks of the previous generation are beginning to age, and some are already senile.

Seeing that everyone had come, Zhang Leqian coughed and suppressed the noisy voices of the crowd and said, "I asked you to come today because of a big event. A spiritual stone vein has been discovered to the north of Ma's house on Jiufeng Mountain. Now this The general direction of the mineral vein has been clearly explored.

Elder Li Zigong of Qingxuan Sect has decided to bring together five of our local families to develop this spirit stone vein. In order to develop the spirit stone mine, the initial investment is huge. Just cultivating a fourth-level spirit vein requires 100,000 spirit stones.

As for us monks in Taicheng County, we need to come up with half of it. Our family's share is relatively small, only 3%. We need to come up with 6,000 spiritual stones to keep our shares.

There are only 3,000 spirit stones in the public accounts at home, and even if they are all taken out, it will not be enough. The gap of the remaining 3,000 spirit stones can only be shared among everyone.

As a monk in the foundation building stage, I will first take out five hundred spirit stones. You elders at the ninth level of Qi training must each take out one hundred spirit stones to fill the gap. The remaining monks have no mandatory number, and you are not rich either. , let’s count as much as we can! "

The patriarch took the lead and took out five hundred spiritual stones. Zhang Zhixuan, as the foundation-building monk in the family, was of course not to be outdone. He and Qing Chan also took out five hundred spiritual stones like the patriarch.

The three foundation-building monks took out half of the gap, and the remaining ninth-level qi-training elders would not hurt their bones even if they each took out a hundred spirit stones.

The foundation-building monks and the elders of the ninth level of Qi training have collected a total of 2,200 spirit stones. The remaining twenty or so late-stage Qi training monks have learned more or less a hundred arts of cultivating immortals and can make a living in the world of cultivating immortals. Myself, you are thirty and he is twenty, and together we have collected more than four hundred spirit stones.

For the shortfall, the clan leader directly transferred some working capital from the shops in Xihefang and gave it to Zhang Zhixuan to take to Chaoyin Mountain.

Zhang Zhixuan left first with the spiritual stones, and the clan leader began to mobilize people to prepare various messy things such as spiritual rice, grain, clothing, livestock, etc., and then slowly rushed to Chaoyin Mountain.

Mining the spirit stone mine mainly relies on a large number of mortals. Migrating a large number of mortals to Chaoyin Mountain consumes a huge amount of materials.

Zhang Zhixuan brought the spirit stones to Chaoyin Mountain, handed the Zhang family's share of spirit stones to Li Zigong, and then followed Li Zigong's dispatch to cooperate with the cultivators of Qingxuan Sect to guard the spirit stone mine.

Before a day had passed, the cultivators of the Wu family of Yanlai Peak, although farther away, arrived earlier than the cultivators of the Liu family of Taibai Mountain.

"The Wu family is really strong. Their family is farther away than mine, but I didn't expect them to arrive on the same day as mine. I didn't expect their family to be able to easily take out such a large number of 20,000 spirit stones. Even when the Chuyun Patriarch was alive, the Zhang family would not have the ability to do so without asking for the Patriarch's help."

Seeing Wu Xiangzhen domineeringly take out 200 pieces of medium-grade spirit stones, Zhang Zhixuan's eyes were also a little jealous.

The Liu family of Taibai Mountain has three foundation-building cultivators. Their family has the longest history in Taicheng County and the deepest foundation. Their shares are the same as the Zhang family, and they can easily take out 6,000 spirit stones.

The most uncomfortable are the Ma family of Jiufeng Mountain and the Zhu family of Liucheng. Their output is relatively small. Although the Ma family of Jiufeng Mountain has mined several thousand spirit stones, they have invested more resources. According to their share, they need to take out 12,000 spirit stones.

The Ma family certainly does not have 12,000 spirit stones, and the number of spirit stones they can take out is only 8,000.

In addition to Xuanyang wood, the Zhu family of Liucheng has no other special outputs. They have been living a tight life in recent years. With the efforts of the whole family, they can only barely collect 4,000 spirit stones.
