Chapter 509: Surviving a Disaster and Sharing the Mineral Veins (Combined Chapter)

After Song Qingming finished speaking, he smiled slightly, took out a soul-gathering bowl, and cast a spell to put the trapped ghost cultivator directly into it.

"Don't be like this, fellow Daoist. I know a great secret that will definitely be useful to you. Please let me live. Believe me, I will never lie to you!"

"Hmph! I am a Jindan cultivator, and I still need to believe the words of you who are willing to fall into the ghost way." Song Qingming snorted coldly, and as a ball of green light was put into the soul-gathering bowl, the figure of the ghost cultivator quickly disappeared directly in the cave.

Regardless of the identity of this ghost cultivator, when he saw the restriction planted by this person in Song Changze's body, Song Qingming had already guessed a little in his heart, what this guy wanted to do next, but he was unlucky and didn't have time to succeed.

An old monster like this man who talks nonsense will definitely do anything to survive. Song Qingming dare not be too careless to deal with it and give the other party a chance to calculate him again.

Regardless of whether this old guy really has some earth-shattering secrets, the initiative is in his hands now. As long as he can imprison the ghost cultivator's soul, Song Qingming will naturally have plenty of ways to search his soul directly after returning, and there is no need to bargain with him here.

After dealing with this ghost cultivator, Song Qingming carefully put away the storage bag under the bones, and then drove the Chifeng beast to continue searching in the cave. After finding nothing unusual, he returned to the cave entrance with confidence.

Hearing Song Qingming's voice transmission indicating that there was no danger, Huang Siyuan and others who were guarding the cave entrance put away the formation flags in their hands and walked towards him.

"Husband, what kind of ghost thing was that you just fought with? It can actually speak human language?"

Song Qingming nodded calmly and said, "It was a ghost cultivator with spiritual intelligence. Its cultivation level is only at the peak of foundation building. Don't worry, I have taken that guy away. I will search his soul when I get back to see what this guy is like."

While the two were talking, Song Qingyu had successfully broken the restriction of Song Changze's body thoughts. Not long after, Song Changze, who looked a little pale, woke up in a daze.

Seeing so many family elders around him, Song Changze was immediately startled and didn't know what had happened.

That day, after Song Changze jumped down the mountain stream after chasing the monster, he happened to fall near the entrance of the cave outside by chance. The wolf monster had nowhere to go and fled directly into the cave.

After Song Changze chased in, he soon encountered several Qi Refining Stage ghost cultivators. After a fight, Song Changze, knowing that he was no match for them, was about to escape when he was suddenly swept into this cave by a gust of cold wind.

As soon as he was captured, Song Changze was quickly planted with a ban by the other party and fell asleep. He didn't wake up until now. What happened in the cave in the past ten days, including the two battles between Song Qingyu and others and the ghost cultivators, he, the person who triggered this, didn't know anything at all.

After seeing Song Changze wake up, except that his body automatically absorbed a lot of Yin Qi because of staying in this place for a long time, he looked a little weak, but there was no other problem. Song Qingming and others finally put their minds at ease and smiled.

"It's all my fault for being too reckless. I was trapped here because of a monster, causing all the ancestors of the family to come all the way to save me. Changze is guilty, please punish me, clan leader!"

After hearing Song Qingyu briefly tell him what happened after his disappearance, Song Changze felt very guilty and knelt down in front of Song Qingming with a "thump".

"Changze, what are you doing? Get up!" Seeing the child's regretful face, Song Qingming scolded him softly and hurried forward to help Song Changze up.

"We are all family members, why should we be so polite? This is just an accident. Don't blame yourself too much!" Seeing this, Song Qingyu and other family ancestors also stepped forward to comfort Song Changze.

Huang Siyuan smiled and said, "Changze accidentally broke into this place this time. It can be said that it is a disaster and a blessing. Without him, we would not be able to find this place for a while, and we should deal with this group of ghost cultivators hiding under our noses in time."

"Siyuan is right. You can survive this disaster. I think it is also your chance. If you are destined to have this disaster, we can't save your life no matter how fast we come.

When Qingyu asked you to go to the family law enforcement team, it was actually my idea. I wanted to temper your temper before you build your foundation. Don't think too much.

For a cultivator, if the road ahead is too smooth and there are no setbacks, it may not be a good thing. We elders have also watched your performance in the law enforcement team in the past few years. When your heart is firm enough, you will build your foundation and become a god sooner or later."

"Thank you for your advice, Changze!" Hearing the encouraging words from Song Qingming, Song Changze's heart seemed to have cleared a layer of fog, and he nodded heavily with joy.

Ever since he learned a few years ago that the family decided to support Song Yuanxue in building his foundation and transferred him to the law enforcement team, Song Changze has been somewhat confused over the years as to why Song Qingming, the family ancestor who loved him very much at the beginning, suddenly ignored him.

Fortunately, this grudge did not have much impact on him. In the past few years, Song Changze's performance in the family law enforcement team was still remarkable. He had good experience in fighting against monsters and making decisions after encountering things. He did not waver his Tao heart because of Song Qingming's sudden coldness.

Song Qingming was generally very satisfied with his performance. Although going out for more experience would delay the progress of cultivation a little, it would definitely be of great help to Song Changze's foundation building in the future.

After rescuing Song Changze, Song Qingming and others returned to the Yinling land and used magic weapons to forcibly cut off several pieces of Yinhuo Stone before retreating from the ghost cave.

Before leaving, in order to prevent other ghosts from entering the cave again, Song Qingming spent a little more time to set up a forbidden magic circle at the entrance of the cave, and then he returned to Funiu Mountain with everyone at ease.

Song Yuanxue and others who stayed on the mountain were relieved after seeing Song Qingming and several family elders bring Song Changze back safely.

This time, the Song family almost dispatched all the high-level combat forces of the family to fight against the ghost cultivators in Yunwu Mountain and save Song Changze. Even Song Xinyu, who was far away in Xiaoyao Sect, was called back to participate. If there was a mistake, it would be a big event for the Song family, and they couldn't help but worry about Song Qingming and others.

On the second day after returning to Funiushan, Song Xinyu took the initiative to come to the top of the mountain to say goodbye to Song Qingming, intending to return to the sect to retreat and recuperate his injuries.

Both Song Xinyu and Song Qingyu were injured in this battle. Although the injuries were not serious and would not affect their path, they still needed to retreat and practice for some time to recover, so Song Qingming did not ask him to stay for a while.

"Xinyu, you have worked hard these days. When you return to the sect, take this back to the head brother and ask him to send a few people to see if the mine is worth mining." Song Qingming took out a cloth bag that he had prepared long ago and handed it to Song Xinyu.

In addition to a Yin Fire Stone brought out from the Ghost Cultivation Cave, Song Qingming also specially stuffed a thousand spirit stones into the bag to reward Song Xinyu for rushing back to help the family this time.

"Uncle Qi, why are you doing this?"

"Alas! These are all given to you on behalf of the family. You were injured this time because of family affairs. It is reasonable for the family to give you some spirit stones as compensation. Just listen to me and don't refuse to accept it."

To be honest, before Song Qingming returned to the family, when Song Qingyu and others encountered the Jindan Ghost King, if it were not for the second-level formation that Song Xinyu specially borrowed from the sect, they would probably have difficulty escaping the second time they entered the Ghost Cultivation Cave.

Including the third battle to completely eliminate the ghost cultivators, Song Xinyu also contributed a lot and was injured. Even if the family is in a difficult situation at this time, they still need to show their support and cannot let those members who joined the sect feel disappointed.

"Well, Xinyu thanks Uncle Qi!" Seeing Song Qingming's insistence, Song Xinyu was no longer polite and accepted the spiritual stones with a smile.

Song Qingming nodded with satisfaction and said, "When you have time in the sect, you should also pay attention to Yuan Rong and the others. I was the one who sent these children to the sect at the beginning. If any of them have the path to build a foundation, the family will naturally not ignore it. Remember to send me a message when the time comes."

"Uncle Qi, don't worry, nephew will not forget these things. I know the teachers of several clan members who have joined the sect. It is not difficult to take care of them in the sect. You can rest assured with me here."

After telling Song Xinyu a few words, Song Qingming personally sent him out the door again. He didn't turn around until he saw Song Xinyu turned into a sword light and disappeared into the sky. He went to Song Qingyu's cave on the top of the mountain again.

As soon as he walked into the door, Song Qingming unexpectedly saw Huang Siyuan was also here. The two seemed to be drinking tea and chatting, but Song Qingming unexpectedly smelled a familiar fragrance.

Song Qingming said with a straight face: "I thought you were healing in seclusion, but I didn't expect you to get delicious food behind my back?"

"Sister Qingyu was injured this time, and I happened to have a spiritual item that could help her recover from the injury, so I made her some soup. You came at the right time, let's try it together!" Huang Siyuan opened the medicinal soup beside her and served a bowl to Song Qingming who was sitting down.

"Sister-in-law, you really know how to behave. You clearly said that it was for me, but you changed your mind as soon as Brother Qi came. This time, you gave one gift to two people. You made a fortune!"

Huang Siyuan smiled and shook her head and said, "If you like it, I will go to Qinghefang in a few days to get some materials and make two more for you, okay!"

"Haha! Don't be ridiculous. I dare not monopolize your good craftsmanship. Brother Qi, Xinyu left in such a hurry. Did you tell him about the Yinhuo Stone Mine and ask him not to tell anyone after he returns?" Seeing that Huang Siyuan was a little embarrassed, Song Qingyu changed the subject and looked at Song Qingming on the side.

Song Qingming drank a sip of the medicine soup, gently put down the jade bowl in his hand, and slowly said, "No need. I have already told him to tell the head brother directly after returning. It is estimated that the sect will send someone here soon."

"If there is really a Yin Fire Stone vein in that cave, its value is not comparable to ordinary veins. If we just hand it over to the sect, I'm afraid we may not get much benefit. Brother Qi, do you think about it again?"

Song Qingming nodded calmly and replied: "I have thought about this in the past two days. That place is too far from the family territory, deep in the Yunwu Mountain. There are many level 2 monsters and above everywhere. Regardless of whether there is a vein there, we can't mine it alone in a short time.

Moreover, mortals can't get close to Yin Fire Stone ore for a long time. They must rely on a large number of cultivators to mine. These are also a big burden for the family now. We can't just focus on the benefits in front of us, but still do what we can. , no matter how fat this piece of meat is, we must have enough ability to eat it, otherwise we will hurt ourselves and lose more than we gain. "

Song Qingyu sighed and said, "This is indeed a troublesome thing. Low-level cultivators are easy to deal with. We can directly recruit them from the vassal families below and give them some sweet treats. These are not difficult.

The only thing is that the location of the mine is too remote. Without three or five foundation-building cultivators stationed all year round, it is difficult to get peace all year round. It is also necessary to cultivate a second-level medium-grade or above spirit vein, which is also a considerable investment. "

Hearing Song Qingyu mention the spirit stones to be invested, Song Qingming nodded helplessly. The reason why he made the decision so quickly this time and directly informed the sect of the matter was also because of this consideration.

During this trip to Wu State, Song Qingming almost emptied the family's gold storage pavilion because of the purchase of spiritual objects, and owed a lot of spiritual stones to Song Qingyu and other foundation-building cultivators. Now, not only does he not have many spiritual stones, but even the family treasury is also empty. It is unknown when the family can save enough spiritual stones to invest in mining.

Although the Song family is already a Jindan family, they have the right to directly mine some newly discovered mineral veins in the territory. However, because the situation of this mineral vein is relatively special, Song Qingming decided to inform Xiaoyao Sect about this matter after thinking it over.

"Instead of sitting and watching this mountain of gold in front of us without being able to get it, it is better to give up the benefits and share them with the sect. This will not only improve the relationship with the sect, but it is also the best choice for the family at present.

But it is a bit early to say this now. We still have to wait for the sect to send people to determine the reserves of this vein before we can discuss the next things with the sect."

Song Qingyu nodded and said, "That's true, but the yin energy in that place is so heavy that it can give birth to a golden elixir ghost king. I think our work will not be in vain this time!"

It was only a few days after Song Xinyu left that Xiaoyao Sect quickly sent two professional mine explorers, second-level spirit explorers, to the Song family. After Song Qingming learned the news, he also came to the family meeting room in person.

"Disciple greets, Uncle Song!" Seeing Song Qingming walk in, the two Xiaoyao Sect disciples hurriedly bowed and saluted.

After taking a look at the two people, Song Qingming found that he had met one of them before. This person had participated in the exploration of the Gengjin vein of the Wang family in Fengtou Mountain. Now he is also a veteran foundation-building cultivator of Xiaoyao Sect.

The profession of soul explorer, like array master, pays more attention to personal talent. It is also very rare in the world of immortal cultivation. The Song family has tried to cultivate several people after so many years of development, but unfortunately, except for one person in the "Yuan" generation who successfully entered the door, no second soul explorer has been cultivated so far.

"This time, Siyuan, Yuanfang and Yuanxi will go with me. Others should go and do their own things first!" After chatting with the soul explorer sent by Xiaoyao Sect for a while, Song Qingming took out the "Phantom Boat" and brought everyone to the outside of the ghost cultivation cave.

After checking that the array restriction at the entrance of the cave was not destroyed by anyone, Song Qingming felt relieved and led everyone into the cave to explore the veins.

Song Yuanxi, who came with them this time, is the only soul explorer in the Song family. Although he is not very talented in cultivation and is only a four-spiritual-root cultivator, he is indeed talented in soul exploration. In the past ten years as a soul explorer, he has also helped the family find a small black iron vein.

Song Qingming likes Song Yuanxi, who can make some great contributions to the family and has a relatively ordinary cultivation talent. As long as they can successfully cultivate to the ninth level of Qi Refining before the age of sixty, the family will consider them more in the future when competing for the foundation-building pill.

The two soul explorers of Xiaoyao Sect spent half a day and finally got a rough and accurate result of this Yin Fire Stone vein.

"Reporting to Master Song, this Yin Fire Stone vein has a very large reserve and can be mined for at least three hundred years. The quality of the ore outside is also very good. If a hundred Qi Refining monks are regularly deployed to mine the ore, after deducting the cost, it is estimated that about four thousand spiritual stones worth of ore can be mined in a year."

"Oh! Then this vein should be worth mining. Thank you for your hard work!" After hearing the report from the Xiaoyao Sect's spiritual explorer below, Song Qingming was very satisfied and specially rewarded each of them with a hundred spiritual stones.

This "Yin Fire Stone" mine can generate an annual income of 4,000 spiritual stones. Although it is not as good as the Gengjin mine discovered by the Wang family, it is also a rare large mine in Jiangling County.

Even if it cooperates with Xiaoyao Sect to develop, the Song family should be able to get a lot of spiritual stones every year in the future. Such a stable income is indeed a timely help for the Song family, which is currently in short supply of spiritual stones.

After exploring the reserves of the "Yin Fire Stone" mine, Song Qingming, who returned to Funiu Mountain, immediately informed the Xiaoyao Sect of the news with a second-level Wanli Sound Transmission Note, asking them to send someone to discuss how to mine this mine.

Soon Chen Xuanxin brought the letter from the head Yao Qianshu and five or six foundation-building monks to Funiu Mountain.

"Junior Brother Song, the headmaster also explained this to me before I came. If you want to mine this vein on your own, you can. The sect's Good Merit Pavilion will send people to buy all the ores. However, you need to give up a part of the price. After all, the sect needs to invest some costs to deal with these ores.

If Junior Brother Song is willing to cooperate with the sect to mine spiritual mines, you and I can split the profits 60% to 40%. The sect's Good Merit Pavilion can pay you all the mined ores at the market price!"

Among the many Jindan cultivators in Xiaoyao Sect, Chen Xuanxin is relatively straightforward. As soon as he saw Song Qingming, he directly stated all the conditions offered by Yao Qianshu.

Song Qingming looked at the letter in Yao Qianshu's hand, thought for a moment, nodded and said: "Brother Chen, I still want to follow the second plan.

But you also know that I just spent a lot of spirit stones when I went to Wu Kingdom last time, and now there are not many spirit stones in stock in the clan. Can we invest less in the early stage, and wait until the mine is running in the future, and then deduct it from our annual income. Do you think this is feasible?"

"Brother Song is willing to cooperate with the sect to mine the mine, and he is also a person who knows the general situation. I can directly agree to your request. The sect will help you pay 30,000 spirit stones in the early stage, and pay it back in ten years after the mine is running. I don't think you have any objection to this arrangement, Brother!"

"Thank you very much, Brother Chen!"

Seeing that Chen Xuanxin agreed to his suggestion without saying a word, Song Qingming was also happy in his heart, and hurriedly stood up and bowed to him.

"Junior Brother Song, please don't be so polite. I came here not only to negotiate with you about the Yin Fire Stone Mine on behalf of the sect, but also to discuss a personal matter with you. I hope you can be polite for a while."

Hearing Chen Xuanxin suddenly say this, Song Qingming was also a little surprised. He immediately secretly communicated with Song Yuanfang who was standing next to him and asked him to send everyone else in the meeting room out.

When only Song Qingming and himself were left in the meeting room, Chen Xuanxin adjusted his beard and asked directly: "Before coming here, I heard that Junior Brother Song killed a Golden Core Ghost King in the Yin Fire Stone Mine. I wonder if Junior Brother has obtained a Ghost Pill now."

Hearing Chen Xuanxin suddenly asking about the Ghost Pill, Song Qingming was also a little surprised. He nodded and said: "Senior Brother Chen is right. After killing the Ghost King that day, I did get a black inner pill.

But I haven't seen this thing anywhere else before, and I'm not sure whether it is a real Ghost Pill. Today, Senior Brother Chen asked about this matter. I think you should know this thing. Please help me take a look!"

After Song Qingming finished speaking, he directly touched his waist with his right hand and took out a red jade box. After opening it, a black sphere with a flashing spiritual light appeared directly in front of Chen Xuanxin.

"Yes, I have seen this thing somewhere else many years ago. It is the ghost pill that only the Golden Core Ghost King has." Seeing the black ball in Song Qingming's hand, Chen Xuanxin immediately confirmed this thing in a low voice, with a trace of joy on his face that was hard to conceal.
