Chapter 242 Joint Development

When Song Qingming told the news that the Wang family had discovered the Gengjin ore vein, the usually calm Lu Yuanfeng was also shocked. This Gengjin ore vein was really not an ordinary spiritual mine. It was something that Xiaoyao Sect had to fight for with all their efforts.

"Fellow Daoist Song, you have been to the ore vein. Can you tell how much reserves there are in this spiritual mine?"

"Brother Dao, you know I am not a spiritual explorer. Besides, the Wang family has only mined a little bit of this spiritual mine. It is really impossible to tell." There are very few spiritual explorers who can explore spiritual veins according to the direction of the ground veins in a short period of time. No one in the Song family or the Wang family has learned this skill, so it is naturally impossible to know the reserves of the ore vein now.

Lu Yuanfeng nodded and continued, "In that case, I'll see if I can ask a soul explorer from the sect to come over first, and we'll go take a look together."

Lu Yuanfeng sent a letter directly to Guyangshan, notifying the sect of the matter. After all, it involved the Gengjin spiritual mine, and no one dared to be careless. It would be best to find a soul explorer to take a look first and see how Xiaoyao Sect would deal with the matter.

After receiving the news that the Gengjin ore vein was discovered in Qinghe County, Xiaoyao Sect attached great importance to it and quickly sent three soul explorers to Qinghefang, and then followed Song Qingming and others to Fengtou Mountain.

As these soul explorers went deep into the spiritual mine, they kept exploring the trend of the ore vein. It took more than ten days before and after, and finally got a rough result.

To everyone's surprise, the reserves of the Gengjin spiritual mine in Fengtou Mountain are more than everyone imagined. According to the preliminary estimate of the reserves of the spiritual mine here, according to normal conditions, about 2,000 strong mortals can be invested in mining at the same time, and about 30 pieces of Gengjin ore worth of spiritual stones can be mined every day, and the total amount can be mined for about 200 to 300 years.

After this accurate news was passed back to Xiaoyao Sect, Xiaoyao Sect soon appointed a Jindan elder to come and handle the matter.

Seeing Chen Xuanxin, dressed in white and with a fairy-like aura, stepping on the clouds and coming to Fengtou Mountain, Song Qingming was really surprised. He didn't expect that the person who came would be the most familiar Jindan cultivator in Xiaoyao Sect.

Just a year ago, when Song Qingming sent Song Xinyu to Xiaoyao Sect, he witnessed the strange phenomenon of heaven and earth on Guyang Mountain with his own eyes. Later, after returning to Qinghe County, Song Qingming heard some news from Xiaoyao Sect and knew that the person who formed the elixir that time was Chen Xuanxin.

In the past, Chen Xuanxin had fought demons with him, and he was also in the limelight for killing Yang Wuqi alone. However, only a few years had passed, and it seemed like a lifetime ago. His status was completely different from that of other people in the same industry, and he had become a high-ranking Jindan Zhenren.

"Greetings to Uncle Chen, Senior Chen!"

No matter how Song Qingming called Chen Xuanxin before, now that he had formed a golden elixir, Song Qingming must call him senior. This is also the custom of this side of the immortal world, the first to achieve.

Chen Xuanxin nodded naturally to the respectful title of everyone, and greeted Song Qingming and several other foundation-building cultivators who had met before, and then led everyone directly into the mine to take a closer look, and then began to explain his purpose this time.

After discovering such a huge windfall of Gengjin Spiritual Mine, Xiaoyao Sect naturally wanted to take all the benefits, but after all, this vein was offered by the lower immortal cultivation family. According to convention, Xiaoyao Sect cannot not give any reward at all, but still give a little sweetness for others to see, which can also show their reward for meritorious people, and more cultivators will come to the sect to offer treasures in the future.

According to Chen Xuanxin's statement, Xiaoyao Sect will occupy 90% of the shares of this vein in the future, and the Song family and the Wang family will share the remaining 10%. Of course, they can only get spiritual stones, and all Gengjin ore will be transported back to Xiaoyao Sect.

In order to better develop this spiritual vein, it is necessary to upgrade the spiritual vein on the side of the spiritual mine to the second level, so as to build a second-level formation to guard this place, and then invest more mortals to mine the spiritual mine.

All parties involved have to bear some of these necessary investments. Xiaoyao Sect is responsible for the promotion of the spiritual veins, while the Song and Wang families have to find ways to provide enough mortal miners in the future to help mine the spiritual mines. As for the transportation and processing of the ore in the later stage, this is naturally the responsibility of the Xiaoyao Sect.

There are also guardians of the veins. The main guardians of the spiritual mines are still headed by Xiaoyao Sect. They will arrange two foundation-building monks here, and the remaining Qi-refining monks. The three parties will send some monks here to guard the spiritual mines.

Regarding the distribution of benefits, Song Qingming has no objection. He is actually very satisfied that the Song family can get a share this time. After all, they just took the initiative to report the matter and picked up hundreds of spiritual stones every year for free. It is a very good deal for the Song family.

As for the Wang family, it was also a pie in the sky. The fixed income of 500 spirit stones every year was much more than what they could get from mining other mineral veins. If they were really given more than ten years of stable and peaceful development, the Wang family would most likely cultivate a foundation-building cultivator to change the fate of the entire family. But in the final analysis, who can blame them for being so lucky to find such a large area of ​​Gengjin spirit mines?

Even Lu Yuanfeng, who helped deliver the letter, was rewarded with several hundred spirit stones. It can be seen that Xiaoyao Sect was really generous this time.

After distributing the interests of all parties, Chen Xuanxin quickly left and returned to Xiaoyao Sect. Fengtou Mountain was also handed over to the two foundation-building monks he brought.

Seeing that Chen Xuanxin did not mention the illegal mining of the spiritual mine by the Wang family without knowing it before, everyone on the scene breathed a sigh of relief. Otherwise, if the matter was investigated, the Song and Wang families would inevitably be criticized, and it would be uncertain whether they could still get the 10% share by then.

It would take some time to upgrade the spiritual veins of the Fengtou Mountain spiritual mine to the second level. After the matter was settled, Song Qingming and Song Changfeng also returned to Funiu Mountain together.

Since it has been agreed, after Xiaoyao Sect has made arrangements for Fengtou Mountain, the Song family will first send some monks to garrison there. As for the mortals, long-distance migration is inconvenient, so the early stage is mainly handed over to the Wang family. When the spiritual mine is stabilized in the later stage, the Song family will consider moving some mortals there.

Half a year later, as the spiritual vein on one side of Fengtou Mountain was upgraded, the Gengjin ore vein also began to enter the stable mining. Song Qingming arranged Shi Chun, who originally managed the Cangjin Pavilion, to go to Fengtou Mountain to help the family manage the affairs there.

After all, Shi Chun has been in Guiyunfang for many years, and he is already proficient in dealing with people. There are still few people in the Song family who can compare with him in this regard.

Now that the family finances have slowly recovered, there are spiritual stones in and out of the Cangjin Pavilion. There is no longer only one account book like before. The Song family attaches more importance to the Cangjin Pavilion than before. Although Shi Chun has won the trust of Song Qingming, he is a guest elder who joined the Song family halfway. In the past two years, several older elders such as the sixth uncle Song Changfeng have begun to have some criticisms about his management of the Cangjin Pavilion.

Song Qingming also took this opportunity to arrange Shi Chun to garrison at Fengtou Mountain. The second-level spiritual vein was enough for his cultivation. Jointly developing spiritual mines with Xiaoyao Sect and the Wang family was also a very important matter for the Song family. Song Qingming felt more at ease when leaving it to Shi Chun, an old veteran, to look after.
