Chapter 178: Second-Order Spirit Stone Vein
The location of Jiulong Mountain does not strictly belong to the territory of the Hu family, and is located at the junction of the Hu, Ye and Shen families.
Since no valuable resources were found on Jiulong Mountain before, the three families were not interested in Jiulong Mountain, so they allowed the scattered cultivators to settle on it, and none of the three families sent monks.
Now that a second-order spirit stone vein has been discovered on Jiulong Mountain, there will definitely be a lot of conflict, and the three monk families will definitely fight for it.
Now the news of the spirit stone vein has not spread widely, and now it is just the people of the Hu family who have blocked the entire Jiulong Mountain and guarded it by the people of their family.
Hu Wanshan, the patriarch of the Hu family, personally went to garrison, and most of the monks of the Hu family left their clan land.
The competition for the spirit stone vein has always been very fierce, not only between the major families, but also the intervention of the Wuji Sect, and there may even be demon beasts taking the opportunity to invade the territory.
However, the spirit stone vein is also a strategic resource for a family, and it is very important for monks. When a monk seeks the Tao, sometimes it is so dangerous, knowing that the front is dangerous, but he must also move forward.
"I'm afraid that the Hu family has already mined some spirit stones, and now that the matter can't be hidden, they will ask us for help. This time, the Hu family is on the cusp of the storm, and a careless will lead to the disaster of extermination, and the Hu family is now pulling us into the water, with risks and opportunities coexisting.
If the three of us can discuss the discussion, it will be difficult for the Wuji Sect to intervene. If we can't negotiate a result before the arrival of the Wuji Sect, the bulk of this spirit stone vein will be taken by the Wuji Sect. Ye Tongxuan analyzed.
"What you said makes sense, it's just that the three of us are not monolithic, just take us and the Shen family as an example, we have been fighting with each other for many years, and the two families have been grudging for a long time, and they will not be able to let go of it for a while." Ye Yongzhang said.
The spirit stone vein is a huge benefit, and this benefit is so big that it can allow Ye Yongzhang to temporarily put aside the grievances between the two families and cooperate to occupy Jiulong Mountain.
But Ye Yongzhang can temporarily let go of his hatred, which does not mean that all the clansmen in the family can let go, after all, some of these clansmen's immediate relatives died at the hands of the Shen family.
It is impossible for this part of the clan to let go of the hatred in their hearts for a while, but now it is also a last resort, Ye Yongzhang can only be ruthless and suppress these voices.
After all, resentment can also be put aside in the face of interests.
If the Wuji Sect was allowed to occupy the entire Jiulong Mountain, the Ye, Shen, and Hu families would only have to drink soup. The three of them could only share some of the scattered resources that flowed out of the fingers of the Wuji Sect.
This is what the patriarchs of the three families do not want to see, and in the face of the spirit stone mine, everyone wants to get a piece of the pie in it. However, without the Wuji Sect to stabilize the situation, these three families alone may not be able to take Jiulong Mountain steadily.
If there is no "foreign enemy" of Wuji Sect, the three families are likely to fight on their own, and the three families are afraid that they will lose even more.
"For the mining of the spirit stone vein this time, the Wuji Sect will send monks to garrison it to a large extent, and then lead the three of us to mine in the spirit stone vein, as for the amount of this mining right, we will have to fight for it ourselves. This time, we must not weaken our momentum, as long as we retreat, the other two families and the Wuji Sect will be unforgiving, and may even kick our Ye family out of Jiulong Mountain. ”
The two discussed it, planning to let Ye Shouyuan return to Yunling Peak to guard, and Ye Yongzhang called Ye Yongkang and set off for Jiulong Mountain with Ye Tongxuan.
Jiulong Mountain is a little far away from Yunling Peak, and the three of them hurried to hurry, and finally arrived at Jiulong Mountain on the fifth day.
When Hu Wanshan saw that the people of the Ye family had arrived, he took a group of clansmen and personally went down the mountain to welcome Ye Yongzhang and others.
After all these years, the Hu family is already the weakest of the three families, so they can only find an ally between the Ye and Shen families to maintain the interests of their own family.
The Hu family now has a good relationship with the Ye family, so the matter of digging up the spirit stone vein was also privately notified to the Ye family.
The Hu family knew that sooner or later the matter of the spirit stone vein could not be hidden, but the Hu family wanted to occupy more share of the spirit stone vein through this time difference.
Second-order spirit stone veins are precious, not only because they are scarce, but also because the acquisition of this kind of spirit stone veins is generally very dangerous, and there are generally second-order demon beasts guarding them.
Moreover, most of these spiritual veins exist in the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range, even if the monks capture them, they are very capable of guarding them, and it is even more difficult to transport spirit stones to the outside.
Therefore, a spiritual stone vein like Jiulong Mountain naturally attracted the covetousness of many monks.
"Brother Ye has been working hard, it's really hard." Hu Wanshan said. In the room, the Hu family and the Ye family, a total of six people sat down.
Ye Yongzhang was not polite, and asked directly: "What is the plan of Patriarch Hu for this spirit stone vein?" ”
"My Hu family is now a small business, and I can't keep this piece of fat, so I have to reluctantly cut it to the elder brother of the Ye family, and in the future, my Hu family only needs forty percent of the mining spirit stones. Hu Wanshan said.
Ye Yongzhang raised his eyebrows, knowing that Hu Wanshan was testing the Ye family's thoughts, "Brother Hu, don't tell me these vain heads, these are all core members of my Ye family, and there is no possibility of leaking secrets." ”
Hu Wanshan's expression was straight, and he immediately said: "This is an extraordinary time, I hope that Brother Ye will be considerate and considerate." The Shen family doesn't know about this for the time being, but when they find out, they will definitely come here to get a piece of the pie.
Not only that, but the Wuji Sect will not interfere with our benefits, and will definitely join in. In this way, we can get a lot fewer spirit stones. ”
"The second-order spirit stone vein is too valuable, and it is impossible for the two of us to swallow it alone. Swallowing it forcibly will only make us lose more. Ye Yongzhang said.
If they join forces with the Hu family and control the entire Jiulong Mountain, even if they promise to let the Wuji Sect join in the mining, it will make the Wuji Sect unhappy.
After all, this is the territory of the Wuji Sect, and if these monk families are given the advice, at that time, the Wuji Sect will even join forces with the Shen family to fight against the two families.
The Ye family has finally gained some upward momentum now, and if they suffer heavy losses in this matter, this is not something that the Ye family can bear.
Seeing that the Ye family refused to occupy Jiulong Mountain with the Hu family, Hu Wanshan was not easy to mention again, originally he didn't have much hope for this proposal, but now the Hu family urgently needs spirit stones to develop and strengthen themselves, if this continues, Hu Wanshan is worried that the foundation laid by the ancestors of the Hu family will be lost in his hands.
Therefore, he knew that it would be an unwise choice to occupy Kowloon Mountain, but he still planned to give it a try. Fortunately, Ye Yongzhang did not agree, and Hu Wanshan did not dare to gamble with the entire Hu family, so he extinguished the idea of monopolizing Jiulong Mountain.
