Chapter 509: Surviving the Disaster and Sharing the Mineral Lode (Chapter Together)

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

"Don't be like this, fellow Taoist. I know a huge secret that will definitely be useful to you. Please let me live. Trust me, I will never deceive you!"

"Hmph! I am a golden elixir monk, so I don't need to believe the words of a person like you who is willing to fall into the ghost way." Song Qingming snorted coldly, followed by a ball of green light being collected into the soul gathering bowl, and this ghost Xiu's figure quickly disappeared into 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 what this guy wanted to do next, but he was unlucky. There was no time to succeed.

An old monster like this person who talks nonsense will definitely do anything to survive. Song Qingming does not dare to be too careless and give the other party a chance to plot against him again.

Regardless of whether this old guy really has any shocking secrets, the initiative is now in his own hands anyway. As long as he can imprison the soul of this ghost cultivator, Song Qingming will naturally have many ways to directly search for its soul after returning. There is no need to follow him here. He bargained.

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

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

"Husband, what the hell did you fight with just now? Can you actually speak human words?"

Song Qingming nodded calmly and said: "It's a ghost cultivator with spiritual wisdom. His cultivation level is only at the peak of Foundation Establishment. Don't worry, I've already put that guy away. I'll search for his soul when I get back." Look, what is this guy like?"

While the two of them were talking, Song Qingyu had also successfully broken the restrictions on Song Changze's body. It didn't take long for Song Changze, who looked a little pale, to wake up in a daze.

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

That day, after Song Changze chased the monster and jumped down the mountain stream, by chance, he happened to land near the entrance of the cave outside. The wolf monster was desperate and fled directly into the cave.

After Song Changze chased in, he soon encountered several ghost cultivators in the Qi Refining Stage inside. After a fight, Song Changze, who knew he was outmatched, was about to escape when he was suddenly swept into the cave by a gust of evil wind.

As soon as he was captured, Song Changze was quickly restrained by the other party and fell asleep directly. 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 caused this incident, has no idea at all.

After seeing that Song Changze woke up, except that his body had automatically absorbed a lot of yin energy from staying in this place for a long time, and seemed a little weak, there were no other problems. Song Qingming and others finally felt relieved and smiled one after another.

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

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

"Changze, what are you doing? Get up!" Seeing the remorseful look on the child's face, Song Qingming scolded him softly and hurriedly stepped forward to help Song Changze up.

"We are all members of our own family, why should we be so open-minded? 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 broke in here by mistake this time, which is both a disaster and a blessing. Without him, we would not have been able to find this place for a while, and we would have dealt with this group of ghost cultivators hiding under our noses in time."

"Siyuan is right. It is your chance to survive this disaster. If you are destined to suffer such a disaster, we will not be able to save your life no matter how fast we come.

When Qingyu asked you to join the family law enforcement team, that was actually what I meant. I wanted to temper your temper before you established the foundation, so don't think too much about it.

As a cultivator, if the road ahead has always been too smooth and you never encounter any setbacks, it may not be a good thing. We, the elders, have also watched your performance in the law enforcement team in the past few years. Waiting for you to say in your heart. If your heart is firm enough, sooner or later you will be able to build a foundation and become enlightened. "

"Thanks to the patriarch for the advice, Changze took note of it!" Hearing the encouraging words from Song Qingming's mouth, Song Changze felt as if a layer of cloud had lifted from his heart, and he nodded heavily with a look of joy.

Ever since he learned a few years ago that his family had decided to support Song Yuanxue in building a foundation and transferred him to the law enforcement team, Song Changze had been a little confused over the years. Why did Song Qingming, the ancestor of the family who loved him very much, suddenly ignore him? .

Fortunately, this grudge did not have a big impact on him. In the past few years, Song Changze's performance in the family law enforcement team was still remarkable. His experience in fighting monsters, his contingency decisions after encounters, and his actions Everything was pretty good, and Song Qingming's sudden neglect of him did not suddenly lift his Taoist heart.

Song Qingming was overall very satisfied with his performance. Going out to practice more would definitely delay Song Changze's progress in training, but it would definitely be of great help to Song Changze in building a foundation in the future.

After rescuing Song Changze, Song Qingming and others returned to the land of yin spirits and used magic weapons to forcibly cut off several pieces of yin fire stone before retreating from the ghost repair cave.

Before leaving, in order to prevent other ghosts from entering the cave again, Song Qingming spent a little more time and set up a prohibition circle at the entrance of the cave, and then he safely led everyone back to Funiu Mountain.

Song Yuanxue and others who stayed behind on the mountain breathed a sigh of relief after they saw that Song Qingming and several family elders had brought Song Changze back safe and sound. They had been worried for a long time.

This time, they went to Yunwu Mountain to fight against the ghost cultivators and save Song Changze. The Song family almost mobilized all its high-level combat forces. Even Song Xinyu, who was far away in the Xiaoyao Sect, was called back to participate. If something goes wrong, it would be a huge disaster for the Song family, and they couldn't help but worry about Song Qingming and others.

On the second day after returning to Funiu Mountain, Song Xinyu took the initiative to go to the top of the mountain to say goodbye to Song Qingming, planning to return to the sect for retreat to heal her injuries.

Song Xinyu and Song Qingyu were both injured in this battle. Although the injuries were not serious and would not affect their path, they still needed to practice in seclusion for some time before they could recover. Therefore, Song Qingming did not ask him to stay. Stay longer.

"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 over to see if the vein is worth mining." After Song Qingming said this, he took it out from his body He picked up a cloth bag that had been prepared and handed it to Song Xinyu.

In addition to a piece of Yin Fire Stone brought from the Ghost Cultivation Cave in this bag, Song Qingming also deliberately stuffed a thousand spirit stones in it to reward Song Xinyu for coming back to contribute to the family this time.

"Uncle Qi, why are you doing this?"

"Alas! These are all given to you by me on behalf of the family. Your injury this time was also due to family matters. It is appropriate for the family to send you some spiritual stones to compensate you. 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 golden elixir ghost king, had it not been for the second-level formation that Song Xinyu specially borrowed from the sect, they would probably have been unable to fully recover when they entered the ghost cultivation cave for the second time. And retreated.

Including the third battle to completely eliminate the ghost cultivators, Song Xinyu also put in a lot of effort and was injured because of it. No matter how difficult it is for the family at this time, they still need to show that they cannot be allowed to join the sect. The clan members of the clan were heartbroken.

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

Song Qingming nodded with satisfaction and said: "You should also pay attention to Yuan Rong and the others when you have time in the sect. I nodded and sent these children to the sect at the beginning. If any of them have the ability to build a foundation, Naturally, the family will not care about the journey. Remember to send me a message when the time comes. "

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

After giving Song Xinyu a few words, Song Qingming personally sent him out. It wasn't until he saw Song Xinyu disappearing into the sky into a sword light that he turned around and went to Song Qingyu's cave on the top of the mountain.

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

Song Qingming said with a straight face: "I thought you were in seclusion to heal your wounds, but I didn't expect that you got something delicious again behind my back?"

"Sister Qingyu was injured this time. I happened to have some spiritual items useful for recovering from the injury, so I made some soup for her. It's a coincidence that you're here, let's try it together!" Huang Siyuan said as she spoke He opened the medicinal soup on the side and filled a bowl for Song Qingming who was sitting down.

"Sister-in-law, you are really good at being a good person. You clearly promised to give it to me, but you immediately changed your mind as soon as Brother Qi came here. This time you gave it to two people with one gift. You made a lot of money!"

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 come back to make two more copies for you!"

"Haha! Don't be ridiculous, I don't dare to monopolize your good craftsmanship. Seventh brother, Xinyu left in such a hurry, did you tell him about the Yinhuo stone veins and ask him not to tell anyone about it after he returns? Seeing that Huang Siyuan was a little embarrassed, Song Qingyu changed the subject and looked at Song Qingming who was aside.

Song Qingming took a sip of the medicinal soup, gently put down the jade bowl in his hand, and said slowly: "No, I have already ordered him to inform the head brother directly when he returns. It will not take long for the sect to send someone over. ”

"If there really is a Yin Fire Stone vein in the cave, its value is not comparable to that of ordinary mineral veins. If we just hand it over to the sect directly, we may not get much benefit. Seventh Brother, you see. Don’t think about it again!”

Song Qingming nodded calmly and replied: "I have thought about this in the past two days. The place has gone deep into Yunwu Mountain and is too far away from the family territory. There are still many second-level monsters and beasts everywhere. Regardless of Is there a vein of minerals there? If we want to mine it alone, we cannot do it in a short time.

Moreover, mortals cannot get close to the Yin Fire Stone ore for a long time, and must rely on a large number of monks to mine it. These are also a big burden for the family now. We cannot just look at the immediate benefits, we still have to do what we can. , no matter how fat this piece of meat is, we must have enough ability to eat it, otherwise we will overstretch ourselves and the gain will not be worth the loss. "

Song Qingyu sighed after hearing this and said: "This is indeed a trouble. Low-level monks are easy to deal with. They can directly recruit from the vassal families below and give them a little sweetness. It is not difficult.

Only the location of the mine is a bit too remote. Without three or five foundation-building monks stationed all year round, it would be difficult to have peace all year round. It would also require cultivating a second-level mid-grade or above spiritual vein. This is also the case. A big investment. "

Hearing Song Qingyu mention the spirit stones he wanted to invest, Song Qingming nodded helplessly. The reason why he decided so quickly this time and directly informed the sect of the matter was because of this consideration.

Within a few months of this trip to the Kingdom of Wu, Song Qingming almost emptied his family's golden pavilion to purchase spiritual objects. He also owed many spiritual stones to Song Qingyu and several foundation-building monks. Now, not only did he have the Not many spirit stones have come out, and even the family treasury is empty. It is not known how long it will take for the family to save enough spirit stones to invest in mining.

Although the Song family is already a Jindan family and has the right to directly mine some new mineral veins discovered in the territory, due to the special situation of this mineral vein, Song Qingming thought twice and decided to notify Xiaoyao of the matter. Zong.

"Instead of sitting around and watching the golden mountain in front of us being unable to obtain, 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 the moment.

However, it is a bit early to say this now. We still have to wait for the sect to send people over to determine the reserves of this mine before we can discuss the following matters with the sect. "

Song Qingyu nodded and said: "That's true, but the Yin Qi in that place is so strong that it can give birth to the Golden Core Ghost King. I think our work this time will not be in vain!"

Song Xinyu had only been away for a few days, and the Xiaoyao Sect quickly sent two professional mineral explorers and a second-level spiritual explorer to the Song family. After Song Qingming learned the news, he also came to the family meeting hall in person.

"Disciple, greetings, Master Uncle Song!" Seeing Song Qingming walking in, the two Xiaoyao Sect disciples quickly bowed and saluted.

After taking a look at these two people, Song Qingming discovered that one of them he had met once before. This person had participated in the exploration of the Geng gold vein of the Wang family in Fengtou Mountain, and was now a veteran foundation-building monk of the Xiaoyao Sect. .

The profession of Spiritual Explorer is similar to that of the Array Master, and is more about 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 the "Yuan" generation, there are One person successfully entered the door, but no second spiritual explorer has been trained yet.

"This time Siyuan, Yuan Fang and Yuan Xi will go with me. Others should go about their own business first!" After chatting with the spiritual explorer sent by the Xiaoyao Sect for a while, Song Qingming took out the "Phantom Boat" "He led everyone to the outside of Guixiu Cave very quickly.

After checking that the formation restriction at the entrance of the cave had not been broken, Song Qingming safely led everyone into the cave to explore for mineral veins.

Song Yuanxi, who came with us this time, is currently the only spirit detector in the Song family. Although he is not very talented in cultivation and is only a four-spirit-root monk, he does still have some talent in spirit detection. , became a spiritual explorer for more than ten years, and also helped the family find a small black iron vein.

Song Qingming still prefers Song Yuanxi who can make some great contributions to the family and whose cultivation talents are compared to ordinary monks. As long as they can successfully cultivate to the ninth level of Qi Refining before the age of sixty, they will compete for the Foundation Establishment Pill in the future. When it comes to issues, the family should also consider them more.

It took the two Xiaoyao Sect spiritual explorers a long time to get down and finally got a rough and accurate result about this yin fire stone vein.

"Reporting to Uncle Song, this Yin Fire Stone vein has very large reserves and can be mined for at least three hundred years. The quality of the ores outside is also very good. If a hundred Qi Refining monks are regularly invested in mining the ores, excluding the cost, it is estimated that one About four thousand spiritual stones worth of ore can be mined every year.”

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

This "Yinhuo Stone" vein can generate an income of 4,000 spiritual stones a year. Although it is not as good as the Geng gold vein discovered by the Wang family back then, it can be regarded as one of the few large-scale mineral veins in Jiangling County.

Even if they cooperate with the Xiaoyao Sect for development, the Song family should be able to receive a lot of spiritual stones every year in the future. Having such a stable income will really be a timely help to the Song family, who are currently in short supply of spiritual stones.

After discovering the reserves of the "Yinhuo Stone" mineral vein, Song Qingming, who returned to Funiu Mountain, immediately informed the Xiaoyao Sect of the news using the second-level Ten Thousand Miles Transmission Talisman and asked them to send people over to discuss how to mine this mineral vein.

Soon Chen Xuanxin came to Funiu Mountain with a letter from the leader Yao Qianshu and five or six foundation-building monks.

"Junior Brother Song, before I came here, the head brother also specifically explained this to me. If you want to mine this vein on your own, you can do it. All the ore sects, Shanggong Pavilion, will send people to buy it, but you still need to pay more attention to the price. Give up some of it, after all, the sect also needs to invest some costs in processing these ores.

If Junior Brother Song is willing to cooperate with the sect to mine the spiritual ore, you and I can also share it at 64%, and all the ore mined by the sect’s Shanggong Pavilion can be cashed to you according to the market price! "

Among the many golden elixir monks in Xiaoyao Sect, Chen Xuanxin has a relatively straightforward personality. As soon as he met Song Qingming, he went straight to the point and told all the conditions for Yao Qianshu to be prescribed.

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

But you also know that I spent a lot of spiritual stones last time I went to Wu State, and now there are not many spiritual stones in stock in the clan. Can we invest less in the early stage? When the mine is operational in the future, we can deduct it from our annual income. Do you think this is feasible? "

"Junior brother Song is willing to cooperate with the sect to mine the mineral veins. He is also a person who knows the general situation. I can directly make the decision to agree to your request. The sect will help you with the initial investment of 30,000 spirit stones. After the mineral veins are operational, they will be divided into ten pieces. It will be paid off every year. Junior brother, you don’t have any objections to this arrangement!”

"Thank you so much, Senior Brother Chen!"

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

"Junior Brother Song, please don't be so polite. In addition to negotiating with you on behalf of the sect about the Yin Fire Stone Mine, I also have a personal matter that I want to discuss with Junior Brother. I hope Junior Brother will not see you outside for a while."

Hearing Chen Xuanxin suddenly say this, Song Qingming was 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 away.

After Song Qingming and himself were the only ones left in the meeting hall, Chen Xuanxin stroked the beard at the corner of his mouth and asked directly: "Before I came here, I heard that Junior Brother Song killed a Golden Elixir Ghost King in the Yinhuo Stone Mine. I didn't know that Junior Brother had it in his hands." Have you got a ghost pill now?"

Hearing Chen Xuanxin suddenly ask about the ghost elixir, Song Qingming was a little surprised, nodded and said: "Senior Brother Chen is right, after killing the ghost king that day, he did get a black inner elixir.

However, I have never seen this object elsewhere before, and I am not sure whether it is a real ghost elixir. Today, when Senior Brother Chen asked about this matter, I think you must be familiar with this object, and please ask Senior Brother to help you palm the eye! "

After Song Qingming finished speaking, he put his right hand on his waist and took out a red jade box. After opening it, a black ball with shining light appeared directly in front of Chen Xuanxin.

"Yes, I have seen this object elsewhere many years ago. It is the ghost elixir that is only found in the Golden elixir Ghost King." Seeing the black ball in Song Qingming's hand, Chen Xuanxin immediately confirmed the object in a soft voice, with a trace of emotion on his face that was difficult to conceal. The look of joy.
