Chapter 166: Preparing the Spirit Stone
Li Zigong's decision can be regarded as taking care of the Xiuxian family in Taicheng County, and Zhang Zhixuan and others also agree with this decision.
After the discussion was decided, Li Zigong and other Qingxuanzong monks stayed here for the time being, guarding the spirit stone mine in Chaoyin Mountain, killing the idle monks who entered the chaos and preventing the news of the spirit stone mine from leaking a little.
The five major families of Taicheng County returned to raise resources and transfer manpower.
The Zhangjia occupies only 3% of the Lingshi mine, and although the shares are small, the resources invested are also relatively small.
Since Zhang Zhixuan built the foundation, the family's finances have gradually improved, especially after he became a third-order alchemist, the success rate of refining the Golden Bud Pill and the Youhuan Pill has increased greatly, and he can obtain a large amount of income every year.
The spirit wine trade opened up the market, the white jade queen successfully advanced, resumed the business of transporting spiritual rice to the southern wilderness, obtained the control of the Baibao Pavilion on the Black Mountain, excavated the Qinggang stone on the Black Python Mountain, increased the development speed of the Lingjing Mountain Lingtian, and successfully developed the Ten Thousand Snake Cave.
This kind of thing has increased the family's heritage bit by bit, and now, with the necessary expenses, the family can save more than a thousand spirit stones every year.
Since three years ago, the family's foundation building period monks have begun to receive fixed offerings, and they can obtain three hundred spirit stones every year.
Since the family has declined year by year and lost Jiuhua Mountain, this is the first time that a monk in the foundation building period has received family offerings. Before that, both the patriarch and Zhang Zhixuan had to use alchemy and talisman making to subsidize the family's finances.
Now that the family's income has improved, even if the three foundation building period monks receive an offering of nine hundred spirit stones every year, they can still have two or three hundred spirit stones left over every year.
If you catch up with the big items of income in any year, you can also save one or two thousand spirit stones that year. In the past few years, the family's spirit stones in the public accounts have exceeded 3,000.
After the loss of Jiuhua Mountain, this is the best time for the family's finances after the fourth uncle cultivates the spiritual vein of Lingjing Mountain. Compared with back then, although the Zhang family has saved some family funds, they basically do not have much income, and they are still unable to make ends meet. With each year of delay, the burden on the family increases.
Thirty years have passed, and now the family's annual income has exceeded three thousand spirit stones, almost doubling. And the monks of the family also have more than 30 people. The family still has two Tsukidans in their hands, and if two more succeed in building the foundation, the family's strength will be even stronger.
Returning to Tiantai Peak from Chaoyin Mountain, Zhang Zhixuan told the patriarch what Li Zigong meant, although the family already had a foundation, but it couldn't take out six thousand spirit stones for a while.
However, a good opportunity to invest in the spirit stone mine is not available at any time, even if it is to smash the pot and sell iron, it is necessary to transfer 6,000 spirit stones to become a shareholder.
For this reason, the patriarch Zhang Leqian could only summon the backbone of the family above the late stage of qi training, hoping that each of them could come up with some spirit stones to make up for the gap.
Soon, with the notice of the patriarch, the monks above the late stage of the family's qi cultivation came to the back mountain of Tiantai Peak.
Even the backbone monks of Lingjing Mountain and Ten Thousand Snake Cave, which were not too far away, did not miss out and notified them one after another.
Zhang Zhixuan saw that the family monks in the cave mansion were all together, and compared with thirty years ago, the number of monks in the late stage of the family's qi cultivation had also increased.
Among these monks, most of them are already Zhizi monks, while the Mengzi monks of the previous generation are only a dozen or so, about one-third.
Even the family elders of the ninth layer of Qi cultivation already have three Zhizi generation monks, and the monks of the previous generation are beginning to grow old, and some of them are already old.
Seeing that everyone had already arrived, Zhang Leqian coughed, suppressed the noisy voices of everyone and said, "I asked you to come today because of a big event. To the north of the Ma family in Jiufeng Mountain, a spirit stone vein has now been discovered, and now the general direction of this vein has been investigated.
Elder Li Zigong of the Qingxuan Sect has decided to bring together our five local families to develop this spirit stone vein. In order to develop the spirit stone mine, the initial investment was very large, and just cultivating a fourth-order spirit vein required 100,000 spirit stones.
As for our Taicheng County monks, we need to take out half of it, and our family's share is relatively small, only three percent, and we need to take out six thousand spirit stones to keep our shares.
There are only 3,000 spirit stones on the accounts of the public middle school at home, even if they are all taken out, it is not enough, and the remaining 3,000 spirit stones are short, so they can only be apportioned by everyone.
As a monk in the foundation building period, I will first take out five hundred spirit stones, and you elders of the ninth level of Qi cultivation must each take out one hundred spirit stones to make up for the gap, and the remaining monks have no mandatory number, and you are not rich, so you can make as many as you can! ”
The patriarch took the lead in taking out five hundred spirit stones, Zhang Zhixuan, as a foundation-building monk in the family, of course, was not far behind, he and Qingchan were also the same as the patriarch, and one person took out five hundred spirit stones.
The three foundation building period cultivators took out half of the gap, and the remaining ninth-level elders of Qi cultivation would not hurt their muscles and bones if they each gave out a hundred spirit stones.
The foundation building monks and the elders of the ninth layer of qi cultivation have added up to two thousand two hundred spirit stones, and the remaining twenty or so late-stage qi cultivation monks have learned more or less a hundred arts of cultivating immortals, and they can already support themselves in the immortal cultivation world, and your thirty and his twenty add up to more than four hundred spirit stones.
For the insufficient part, the patriarch directly transferred some working capital from the shop in Xihefang and handed it to Zhang Zhixuan to take to Chaoyin Mountain.
Zhang Zhixuan took the spirit stone and left first, and the patriarch began to transfer manpower to prepare all kinds of messy things such as spiritual rice, grain, clothing, and animals, and then slowly rushed to Chaoyin Mountain.
The mining of spirit stone mines mainly relies on a large number of mortals, and the migration of a large number of mortals to Chaoyin Mountain is also very huge.
Zhang Zhixuan came to Chaoyin Mountain with the spirit stone, handed over the Zhang family's share of the spirit stone to Li Zigong, and then obeyed Li Zigong's dispatch and cooperated with the monks of Qingxuanzong to guard the spirit stone mine.
Before waiting for a day, although the monks of the Wu family of Yanlai Peak were farther away, they came earlier than the monks of the Liu family of Taibai Mountain.
"The strength of the Wu family is really strong, their home is farther away than mine, but I didn't expect to come on the same day as my family. The large amount of 20,000 spirit stones, I didn't expect their family to be able to take it out easily, even if the ancestor of Chuyun was alive, he didn't ask the ancestor for help, the Zhang family would not have this ability. ”
Watching Wu Xiangjiao domineeringly take out two hundred medium-grade spirit stones, Zhang Zhixuan's eyes were also a little red.
The Liu family in Taibai Mountain has three monks in the foundation building period, their family has the longest history in Taicheng County, and the heritage is also the deepest, and his family's shares are the same as the Zhang family, and they also took out six thousand spirit stones relatively easily.
The most uncomfortable is the Jiufeng Mountain Ma family and the Liucheng Zhu family, their two families have less output, although the Jiufeng Mountain Ma family has mined thousands of spirit stones, but they have invested more resources, according to their share of the need to take out 12,000 spirit stones.
Of course the Ma family doesn't have 12,000 spirit stones, and the number of spirit stones that their family can take out is only 8,000.
In addition to Xuanyang wood, the Zhu family in Liucheng has no other characteristic output, and they have been living a tight life in their hands over the years, and with the strength of the whole clan, they can barely gather four thousand spirit stones.
