Chapter 34 Your Grandfather

The competition for the mining rights of the spirit stone mine has been going on for many years....

There is a spirit stone vein 500 miles east of Jingchuan City. When he found that his family was weak, he was targeted by the top families and finally his family was exterminated because of this vein.

After the small family that controlled the vein was destroyed, the major families participated in the division. However, although the vein was large, it was only a second-grade spirit stone vein, and the spirit stones produced were also limited.

So the major families decided to compete with each other every three years in the future, and the winner could get the mining rights of the vein for three years.

Because of various concerns, the final competition method was set as people under the age of 25 to compete with each other, and it must be members of the family.

After Long Anhai finished speaking, he smiled and said, "The original participant this time was Long Xiaotian...but he was injured and has not recovered, and his strength is far inferior to yours."

Xiao Fan thought about it, so he nodded and agreed.

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

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

At least Long Xiaotian was definitely not Wang Xuan's opponent, not to mention that this time the requirement was under 25 years old... Some family members who had already joined the sect to practice came here specifically to help the family fight for the spirit stone vein.

In the early years, the Long family actually never got the right to use the vein, and the Long family had long given up hope.

But now it's different. With Xiao Fan joining the Long family, they have rekindled their thoughts on the spirit stone vein.

......

After leaving Long Anhai, Xiao Fan went straight back to the villa.

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

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

"Jingchuan is fine. The Long family has improved our treatment a lot. Even the monthly salary has increased to 30 spiritual stones per month..." Long Miaoyin said.

30 spiritual stones is not a small amount. The elders of the Long family only get 20 per month...

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

"Hmm?" Long Miaoyin was stunned. She didn't expect Xiao Fan to say that.

The two were nominally husband and wife, but nothing had happened to them. They had never even held hands...

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

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

"The birthmark on my face... After I was born, my father found many famous doctors but they were all helpless...".

Long Miaoyin looked very disappointed: "I'm afraid it's hard to remove it..."

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

Xiao Fan said very seriously: "I will definitely not lie to you about this. 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. His mother disappeared after he was born. Because of the birthmark on his face, his father ignored her later...

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

But the appearance of Xiao Fan made her see a ray of light in this darkness.

At least there is someone who treats her sincerely regardless of her appearance...

Long Miaoyin gently took off the veil on her face. On one side was a white almond-shaped face, clear and bright eyes, and a tall nose bridge. It is not an exaggeration to describe her as a beauty. On the other side, on the same facial features, there was a layer of bright red birthmark...

Just as outsiders said, half of her face was like a ghost...

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

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

This sentence seemed to have magic and entered Long Miaoyin's heart. The latter nodded obediently.

"Don't worry, I will make you return to normal appearance no matter what, believe me."

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

Long Miaoyin nodded, and cried unconsciously, leaning on Xiao Fan's arms, the arms of his nominal husband.

......

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

This also greatly increased his knowledge of many spiritual herbs and medicines. He also read a lot of 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 fourth middle stage of the Qi Transformation Realm.

His own strength has improved a little bit. Although he doesn't know how strong he is now, with the support of the Qi Transformation Nine Transformations, it should not be a problem for him to fight against the cultivators of the fifth level of Qi Transformation.

Moreover, Xiao Fan felt that he should have the strength to fight against the middle-aged man surnamed Pang who had troubled him on the second floor of the Treasure Pavilion last time.

At least if the two sides fight, if Xiao Fan is determined to run, the other party will definitely not be able to stop him.

"It's time to leave."

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

Xiao Fan changed into a clean white robe, then left the secret room, and 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 hall, Long Anhai stood beside the main seat, and the ancestor of the Long family was sitting on the main seat.

This time he personally led the team to compete for the spirit stone vein.

The spirit stone vein is very important, and it can even be said that it is related to whether a family can rise!

Compared with the families that competed for the mining of the spirit stone veins, the Long family has fallen behind by a large margin. If this continues, it won't be long before the Long family will become a second-rate force compared to other families!

Xiao Fan strode in, and was stunned by the scene 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 he looked very serious on the surface.

When Xiao Fan came in, all the elders of the Long family looked at him very gently, just like looking at their own younger generation...

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

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