Chapter 34 Your Grandpa

The competition for the mining rights of Lingshi Mine has been going on for many years....

There is a spirit stone vein five hundred miles east of Jingchuan City. It was discovered that his family was very weak and was targeted by all the top families. In the end, the family was exterminated because of this mine.

After the demise of the small family that controlled the mineral vein, it was initially divided among the major families. However, although this mine was large, it was only a inferior spiritual stone vein and produced only a few spiritual stones.

Therefore, the major families decided to compete with each other every three years from now on, and the winner would get the right to mine the mineral vein for three years.

Due to various concerns, the final competition method was determined to be for people under the age of twenty-five to compete with each other, and it was required that they must be members of the family.

After Long Anhai said this, he smiled and said: "Originally, the person participating this time was Long Xiaotian... But he was injured and has not recovered, and his strength is far inferior to you."

Xiao Fan thought for a while, then nodded and agreed.

"Okay, okay, okay, Xiao Fan, you are indeed a good son-in-law of my Long family."

Long Anhai was overjoyed. In fact, he knew best in his heart that even if Long Xiaotian participated, his Long family would have almost no hope.

At least Long Xiaotian is definitely no match for Wang Xuan, not to mention that this time the requirement is under the age of twenty-five... Some family members who have already joined the sect to practice came here specially to help the family compete for the spirit stone veins.

In the early years, the Long family actually never obtained the right to use the mineral veins, and the Long family had long given up hope.

But things are different now. The addition of Xiao Fan to the Long family has given them new ideas about the spirit stone veins.

...

After coming out of Long Anhai, Xiao Fan returned directly to the other courtyard.

In the hall, Long Caiwei had left, and only Long Miaoyin was there.

Xiao Fan told Long Miaoyin about the Lingshi Mine, and by the way, he also listened to Long Miaoyin talk about the recent events in Jingchuan City and the Long family.

"There's nothing wrong with Jingchuan. The Long family has treated... Our treatment has been improved a lot. Even the monthly salary has been increased to thirty spiritual stones per month..." Long Miaoyin said.

Thirty pieces of spirit stone is not a small amount. The elder of the Long family only gets twenty pieces per month...

Xiao Fan nodded. It was naturally a good thing that the Long family had changed their views on them. After saying this, Xiao Fan whispered to Long Miaoyin: "Miaoyin, take off your veil. I want to see your face."

"Huh?" Long Miaoyin was stunned, she didn't expect Xiao Fan to say that.

The two are a couple in name only, but nothing has ever happened, not even holding hands...

"What's wrong? I...I'm ugly." Long Miaoyin's voice was full of nervousness.

Xiao Fan smiled softly and said, "You and I are already married. No matter how ugly you are, I will still be your husband. I just want to see your birthmark and see if there is any way to remove it."

"The birthmark on my face... After I was born, my father went to many famous doctors but nothing could be done...".

Long Miaoyin's eyes were very disappointed: "I'm afraid it's difficult to get rid of it..."

"You are my wife, and we are married."

Xiao Fan said very seriously: "I will definitely not lie to you about this matter. No matter what, I will find a way to remove the birthmark on your face."

Tears fell from the corners of Long Miaoyin's eyes.... He was looked down upon in the Long family. After he was born, his mother disappeared because of the birthmark on her face. Later, her father ignored her...

Because of her birthmark, she had been wearing a gauze scarf since she was a child, which made her feel very inferior and felt that her whole world was dark.

But Xiao Fan's appearance gave her a glimmer of light in the darkness.

At least there is someone who treats her sincerely no matter how she looks...

Long Miaoyin gently took off the gauze scarf on her face. On one side, she had a white and tender almond-shaped face, clear and bright eyes, and a tall nose. The beauty and beauty of the country could not be overstated. On the other side, she had the same facial features. Covered with a bright red birthmark....

As outsiders say, half of the face looks like a ghost...

Long Miaoyin was very nervous, afraid that her appearance would scare Xiao Fan. Her hands were trembling, and her attention was focused on Xiao Fan.

As if seeing her nervousness, Xiao Fan stepped forward, grabbed Long Miaoyin's hand, and said softly: "Don't be afraid, it's okay."

These words seemed to have magic power and entered Long Miaoyin's heart, who nodded obediently.

"Don't worry, I will restore your normal appearance no matter what, trust me."

Xiao Fan's tone was very sincere, this was his promise to Long Miaoyin.

Long Miaoyin nodded and cried unconsciously, clinging to Xiao Fan's arms, his nominal husband's arms.

...

In the next seven days, Xiao Tian was in the secret room every day. In addition to practicing, he also read and studied various ancient books...

This also greatly increased his knowledge about many spiritual herbs and elixirs. He also read some ancient books related to alchemy and learned a lot.

In seven days, with the help of various resources in the Star Map, Xiao Fan successfully reached the middle stage of the fourth level of Qi Transformation Realm.

His own strength has improved a little. Although he doesn't know how strong he is now, with the support of the Nine Transformation Qi Transformation Technique, it shouldn't be a problem to fight against a monk with the fifth level of Qi Transformation Realm.

Moreover, Xiao Fan felt that even if he was defeated by the middle-aged man named Pang who made things difficult for him on the second floor of Zhenbao Pavilion last time, he should be able to fight.

At least when the two sides fight, if Xiao Fan wants to run away, the other side will never be able to keep him.

"It's time to leave."

In the secret room, Xiao Fan slowly opened his eyes, his breath restrained, today was the day to participate in the competition for the spirit stone veins.

Xiao Fan changed into a clean white robe, then left the secret room. After greeting Long Miaoyin, he went directly to the Long Family Hall.

At this time, all the elders of the Long family were in the main hall. Long Anhai was standing next to the main seat, and the ancestor of the Long family was sitting on the main seat.

This time he personally led the team to fight for the spirit stone veins.

The spirit stone veins are of vital importance, and can even be said to determine whether a family can rise!

Compared with those families that have competed to mine the spirit stone veins, the Long Family is already a big step behind. If this continues, it won't be long before the Long Family becomes an inferior force compared to other families!

Xiao Fan strode in and was stunned when he saw the formation in the hall...

It seems that I still underestimated the importance of the spirit stone veins to the Long family... Xiao Fan muttered in his heart, but on the surface he was very serious.

When Xiao Fan came in, all the Long family elders looked at him with very soft eyes, just like looking at their own juniors...

"Xiao Fan, this is my father, your...grandfather!"

Long Anhai introduced Xiao Fan to the ancestor of the Long family who was sitting on the main seat!
