Seeing that Wu Xiangjiao was very thoughtful, everyone didn't say anything, and under the leadership of Ma Jimin, they immediately flew to Chaoyin Mountain.

Chaoyin Mountain is located on the edge of the Broken Cloud Mountains, where a low-level material of echo stone is produced, which has been controlled by the Ma family for many years.

The Ma family monk was originally mining echo stones, but he didn't expect to dig into the depths of Chaoyin Mountain and dig up precious spirit stone mines.

Ma Jimin originally wanted to secretly hide the spirit stone mine, but he didn't expect that once the spirit stone mine began to be excavated, the spiritual energy would continue to leak, and in less than three months, this spirit stone mine would be impossible to hide.

Once the spirit stone mine leaks, the Ma family is in danger of extinction immediately.

As soon as Ma Jimin saw that the situation was wrong, he immediately suppressed the greed in his heart and notified the other four major families. With the joint efforts of the five major families, coupled with the intervention of Qingxuanzong, it is only with the certainty of keeping this spiritual stone mine.

Seven or eight monks from the foundation building period entered the depths of Chaoyin Mountain along the cave where the echo stone was mined, and soon there was a feeling of spiritual energy being filled.

Torches were lit in the depths of the mine, and when everyone glanced around, they immediately found some traces of indiscriminate digging.

Several people glanced at Ma Jimin with a smile, and Ma Jimin suddenly blushed a little and said, "The juniors in the family are disobedient, what has happened?" After I go back, I will severely punish some people, I have repeatedly ordered not to dig spirit stones, and there are still people who can't control themselves. ”

A few people walked along the mine cave in the depths of Chaoyin Mountain, because there were no formation mages among them, and they would not be able to explore the ore veins, and they could not determine the size of this spirit stone mine for the time being.

However, judging from the traces of the Ma family's excavation, their family excavated the spirit stone mine for three months, and at least four or five thousand lower-grade spirit stones were excavated.

The Ma family digs spirit stones, basically there is no planning, where it is easy to dig where it is, although a lot of spirit stones can be mined, but the waste is also very serious, and the efficiency is not very high.

Mining spirit stone mines in Taicheng County is inseparable from the five major families, and mining spirit stone mines requires a large number of manpower and the protection of many monks.

Leaving the five major families, swallowing the spirit stone mine alone, and transferring manpower, food, spiritual rice and other materials from Qingxuanzong 100,000 miles away, not only consumed a huge amount, but also caused the five major families to complain.

Once the foreign enemy invaded, the local head snake was co-opted, and finally made an uncontrollable mess, which was also very troublesome for Qingxuanzong.

Therefore, mining this spirit stone mine, since the five major families are willing to notify Qingxuanzong, it means that they are still willing to use Qingxuanzong as a backer. Although Qingxuanzong can take the lion's share of the spirit stone mine, the soup should also be left for the five major families.

Everyone explored the spirit stone veins, and Wu Xiangjiao glanced at everyone and said, "What do you think?" ”

Zhang Zhixuan didn't hide it, he said whatever he wanted, and directly said what he meant.

"Judging from the spirit stone veins below, we can't be sure of the size of the spirit stone veins, but judging from the traces of Ma Daoyou's mining, small spirit stone veins are more likely. The top priority is to notify Qingxuanzong immediately, and when the formation mage of Qingxuanzong comes, he has explored the reserves of the spirit stone mine and is making a decision!

Even if Qingxuanzong swallows the spirit stone mine alone, it is better than staying in our hands as a hot potato. The aura of this spiritual stone mine is getting stronger day by day, and as long as the eyes are not blind, it is still easy to find. Once the news of the spirit stone mine appears, it can't be hidden at all, our Taicheng County has dug out the spirit stone mine, I'm afraid it will soon become a battlefield, as the local Xiu Immortal family in Taicheng County, not only Ma Daoyou's family, but also several other families are not spared. ”

Everyone also agreed with what Zhang Zhixuan said, and Wu Xiangjiao personally came forward and went to Qingxuanzong and notified Li Zigong, the elder of the Qingxuanzong General Affairs Palace.

When Li Zigong heard that Taicheng County had discovered the spirit stone mine, he was overjoyed and immediately decided to come forward to take a look. He transferred a third-order array mage from within the Qingxuan Sect, and then personally descended to Chaoyin Mountain.

As the array mage entered one formation flag after another near Chaoyin Mountain, and kept exploring the trend of the spirit stone veins, it took more than a month to have a rough result.

After exploring the ore vein, Li Zigong said directly, "The ore vein has been roughly explored, and there is indeed a small spirit stone vein here in Chaoyin Mountain. According to our calculations, if we put in 60,000 mortals to mine, we can mine about fifty low-grade spirit stones every day. It is estimated that the reserves of the Lingshi mine in Chaoyin Mountain should be able to be mined for at least three hundred years.

Therefore, in order to protect this spiritual stone mine, we must establish a powerful formation on Chaoyin Mountain and send high-level monks to garrison this spiritual mountain. If you want to station a high-level monk, you must first cultivate a high-level spiritual vein, and to cultivate a high-level spiritual vein, you must invest a huge amount of spiritual stone resources in advance. ”

Li Zigong took a sip of tea and moistened his throat and continued: "Guarding such a spirit stone mine cannot be done without the Purple Mansion monks, so it is not possible to cultivate a spiritual vein lower than the fourth order, and cultivating a fourth-order spiritual vein requires 100,000 spirit stones, and you five families have to share half of it."

The fourth-order spirit gathering formation was handed over to us to refine, and the Purple Mansion monks stationed there were also arranged by us. However, for the fourth-order large array that guards the spiritual veins, you have to buy spirit stones, and your five families must send no less than two hundred monks to Chaoyin Mountain to garrison and cooperate with our Purple Mansion monks to guard the spirit stone mine.

Since you all want to mix in a share, you can't sit back and enjoy it, so let's take the spirit stone out of the house first! ”

Li Zigong is in charge of Qingxuanzong's general affairs and finances, and he is also worried about the spirit stone every day, with this spirit stone mine supplement, the situation will be much better.

He saw that the scale of the spirit stone mine was not small, and he had been happy these days, although he had to distribute some to the five major families below, but the investment in mining this spirit stone vein was also very large.

Although Qingxuanzong is strong, it also has a great cause and a large consumption, with more than 10,000 monks and many places that need spirit stones.

Without the participation of the five major families, so many manpower and material resources were mobilized for a while, and Qingxuanzong also felt tight. If you delay too much time, you didn't set up the formation before the Hongshan Sect noticed. If the first move is lost, Hongshan Sect will definitely fight desperately, and I am afraid that the casualties will be very heavy at that time.

Therefore, with five land snakes joining, it is a matter of mutual benefit.

Under the auspices of Li Zigong, they quickly allocated the share of the spirit stone mine, and Qingxuanzong occupied the largest share of seventy-five because he would dispatch the Purple Mansion monks to guard the spirit stone mine, and would bear half of the spirit stones needed to cultivate the fourth-order spirit vein.

The Wu family is the leader of the five major families in Taicheng County and occupies one percent of the shares, the Ma family is the first family to discover the spirit stone mine, and it is the head snake of Chaoyin Mountain, occupying six points of the shares, while the other three families equally divide the remaining nine points of the spirit stone mine shares.

According to this ratio, the Wu family needs to take out 20,000 spirit stones, and they also need to invest 24,000 mortals to mine the spirit stone mines, and send no less than 100 monks to garrison Chaoyin Mountain.

Although the Zhang family occupies a relatively small share, the resources invested are also small.

They only need to invest 6,000 spirit stones, 7,200 mortals, twenty-four monks, plus some grain, grass, spirit rice and other resources, in exchange for three percent of the spirit stone mine.

According to the estimation of the Qingxuanzong monks, once this spirit stone mine is completed, it can dig out about 20,000 spirit stones every year, and even if the Zhang family occupies a relatively small share, they can also get 600 spirit stones every year.

Only 12 years of mining can recover the cost, and this spirit stone mine can continue to be mined for 300 years in the future, this kind of business, if the Zhang family is not a local head snake, it will not be their turn anyway.
