Chapter 241: Gengjin Mine

Song Changfeng nodded and said, "You are right, but what is giving us a headache now is that the Wang family has been mining for several months since they discovered the vein, and they have dug out a lot of Gengjin ore.

If this matter is not explained clearly, Xiaoyao Sect may suspect that we instructed the Wang family to do this secretly. If this is the case, then this matter will be very disadvantageous to us. We still have to think of a foolproof plan."

"Let's do this! I will go to Qinghefang to find Lu Yuanfeng first and find out the details of this matter. I still know a little about his character. Even if he is unwilling to speak for us, at least he will not deliberately add insult to injury. But before that, we still have to take people to guard the Wang family's vein to prevent any accidents from happening next."

After thinking about it for a while, Song Qingming decided to go to Qinghefang in person to explain the matter to Lu Yuanfeng in person.

Although this matter has no direct relationship with the Song family, the Wang family is a vassal family of the Song family after all. This is also an incident that happened on the territory of the Song family. If the Xiaoyao Sect really investigates it in the future, it will be difficult for them to escape this responsibility.

"It's good. I don't know whether this matter is a blessing or a curse. If Senior Lu is willing to give us some advice, we can be more prepared." After hearing Song Qingming's idea, Song Changfeng thought about it secretly and didn't feel anything wrong, so he nodded and agreed directly.

Soon a green sword light rose from Funiushan. Song Qingming, who had just returned from Pingyang County, took Song Changfeng to Fengtou Mountain before he had time to rest for a while.

Fengtou Mountain is the most core spiritual vein of the Wang family. It is not far from the Song family's Funiushan. Song Qingming arrived in just one stick of incense by flying on the sword.

As a family of immortal cultivators, the Wang family is considered to be native to Qinghe County. There are more than 30 cultivators in the family. It is considered to be a relatively powerful Qi-refining family in the surrounding area, and it is also the strongest of the several vassal families controlled by the Song family.

The history of the Wang family taking root in Qinghe County is much longer than that of the Song family. It is precisely because of such a long history and the efforts of generations of cultivators that the Wang family now has several good spiritual veins. The number of mortals they control is not inferior to that of the Song family, which has now become a foundation-building family.

The current head of the Wang family is an old man of the same generation as the old patriarch Song Gushan. At his age, he can hardly go out. However, after learning that Song Qingming had come in person, the old patriarch of the Wang family insisted on going out to greet the two people of the Song family with the help of his younger generation.

Under the leadership of several cultivators of the Wang family, Song Qingming and others soon came to a valley on the west side of Fengtou Mountain, where the Gengjin vein discovered by the Wang family was located.

At this moment, the valley has been well developed by the Wang family. Not only has a spiritual vein been cultivated, a magic array has been arranged, but also a large mortal village has been built. In terms of prosperity, it is almost catching up with Lingyuan Mountain, which has been operated by the Song family for many years.

Song Qingming led everyone into the mine cave to check it out, and soon came to the deep place of the mine vein. Along the way, Song Qingming found a lot of ore fragments thrown aside casually.

Picking up a fragment casually, Song Qingming released the true fire in his body and tried to burn it continuously. After a while, seeing that the ore still had no reaction, Song Qingming nodded with satisfaction.

"Yes! This should be the Gengjin ore."

"Senior Song, my family has only been mining this spiritual mine for less than three months. Don't worry, we haven't sold any of the ore. All of it is sealed in the warehouse outside. Please go and take a look later."

The person who spoke was named Wang Ziyuan, who was the next patriarch of the Wang family. He had a good relationship with his sixth uncle Song Changfeng. As early as when the Wu family's demon cultivators were in turmoil, Song Qingming had met this person. He was also the cultivator who led the Wang family at that time.

"This is the best. You all know that the Xiaoyao Sect has issued a clear order to prohibit the excavation of this Gengjin vein. I will report this matter as usual. As for whether the Xiaoyao Sect will blame me, I can't say for sure now. Just have a clear idea in your mind." Song Qingming replied to Wang Ziyuan without comment, and then left the vein.

Seeing that Song Qingming did not make his words clear, the Wang family members panicked and hurriedly knelt down to beg Song Qingming, hoping that the Song family could help them communicate with Xiaoyao Sect.

They have been rooted in Qinghe County for hundreds of years and have a little understanding of Xiaoyao Sect's style of doing things. The tragedy of the Liu family's extermination decades ago is still vivid in their minds. They are still very afraid of Xiaoyao Sect in their bones.

Song Qingming ignored them and walked out of the mine directly. Now that it has been confirmed that it is the Gengjin vein, he should set off for Qinghefang next.

"Sixth uncle, the Wang family is really confused about this matter. They can't even distinguish between Gengjin and refined copper veins. After the eldest brother and others arrive, this matter needs to be secretly investigated to see if they did it on purpose and whether they have hidden the ore privately." Before leaving, Song Qingming, who was a little worried, whispered to Song Changfeng.

It took another hour for the anxious Song Qingming to rush to Qinghefang.

Lu Yuanfeng, who was instructing several disciples in their practice in the mansion, heard that Song Qingming was coming to visit, and hurriedly asked someone to invite him in.

"Fellow Daoist Song, you are a rare guest now. You come to me today, but what can I teach you?"

"Brother Dao, what you said really humiliates me. I have not practiced Taoism for half as long as you, so how dare I say the word 'teaching' in front of you." Song Qingming smiled and walked forward, bowing to Lu Yuanfeng.

Lu Yuanfeng has been stationed in Qinghefang for many years, and has accepted many disciples. He often takes the initiative to preach to disciples who are confused in their practice, like today.

Although his personal practice of Taoism is not very smooth, Lu Yuanfeng has done a good job in teaching his disciples. One of them has successfully established a foundation many years ago.

Seeing Song Qingming here, Lu Yuanfeng took the opportunity to say: "Since Fellow Daoist Song is here today, why don't you open your mouth and tell these stubborn disciples of mine about your insights in cultivation?"

"I am afraid that I will disappoint you today. I came here to discuss a very important matter with you. I hope you can understand my impoliteness."

Hearing Lu Yuanfeng's invitation, Song Qingming would definitely not refuse if it was in normal times, but today he had an important matter in his mind, and he really didn't have the mood to discuss Taoism with others.

Seeing that Song Qingming looked serious and really had something important to say, Lu Yuanfeng quickly waved to the disciples sitting below and asked them to retreat first.
