Chapter 25: Secret Deliberations

Qinglian Mountain, a magnificent cyan pavilion, the plaque is engraved with three golden characters of "Qinglian Building".

In the spacious hall, there are two large carved wooden chairs in the main seat in the center, and below the two carved wooden chairs, there is a row of cyan wooden chairs on the left and right sides, and behind the wooden chairs, a cyan lotus flower is carved.

The six elders of the Wang family sat on the cyan wooden chairs on both sides, they were all clan elders of the "Yao" generation, they had retreated into the background, and they were responsible for teaching the juniors or guarding the family ancestral hall on weekdays, and rarely interfered in clan affairs, but the family had major moves, and Wang Mingyuan would discuss with them.

"Sixth brother, what's going on again? Mingyuan called us together last time to let the young clansmen come out two years in advance to do things, and they won't be ahead of schedule! The sixteen-year-old clansmen are lowly in cultivation and don't understand many things, and if they let the clansmen under the age of sixteen go out to do things, it will be even worse. An old man in a cyan robe spoke.

The old man was thin-looking, with a goatee and a few deep wrinkles on his forehead.

The old man in the green robe is called Wang Yaoheng, and he ranks eighth among the "Yao" generation, and he is 62 years old this year.

Wang Yaoheng is a four-spirit root, he has been cultivating for many years, and he is only a fifth-level qi refining layer, teaching in the preaching hall, and is responsible for imparting basic immortal cultivation knowledge.

"Probably not! It is impossible for Mingyuan not to think of this, and the family currently has no new source of income, so it does not need so many people, and some of the "elder" clansmen have come out to do things in advance, which is enough to cope with the current situation. An old man with a hunchback shook his head and replied.

The hunchbacked old man's name is Wang Yaocong, who ranks sixth in the "Yao" generation, and is 63 years old this year.

Wang Yaocong is a five-spirit root, only has three levels of qi refining, is proficient in the five elements of spells, and is responsible for teaching the younger generations to cultivate.

"Mingyuan is really, he gathered us together, but he didn't show up, I still have to go back to see my grandson! A kind white-robed old man frowned and complained.

The old man in the white robe is called Wang Yaochen, who ranks tenth in the "Yao" generation, and is fifty-five years old this year.

Wang Yaochen is a four-spirit root, has been cultivating for many years, and he is only at the fourth level of qi refining, and he is proficient in the art of cultivation.

"Twelfth brother, where did the younger brother and sister go? Hasn't she always taken care of her grandson?" Wang Yaocong wondered.

"This year's Ling Mulberry tree is growing well, you can pick a lot of Ling Mulberry leaves, the female dependents are too busy, she went to help, and the responsibility of taking care of her grandson was handed over to my head, Changjing and Chimelong, the two stinky boys, ran around, just refused to stay honestly, so I ran after their buttocks, and my old bones were about to fall apart, so I finally coaxed them to sleep. Wang Yaochen said complaining, but when he talked about his grandson, his face was full of happiness.

His qualifications are not good, and he is old, and the greatest pleasure is to tease his grandson.

Wang Yaocong waved his hand and said, "Okay, twelfth brother, don't complain, there must be something very important, Mingyuan will call us here, if you are worried that no one will take care of Changjing and Changlong, I will let your sixth sister-in-law go over and take a look, although your sixth sister-in-law's legs and feet are not good, it is no problem to take care of two three-year-old children." ”

"No need, Sixth Brother, I just coaxed them to sleep, and they shouldn't wake up for an hour. Wang Yaochen politely refused.

"Changjing and Chimelong are still young, no one at home is watching, they have spiritual roots, they are the future of the family, they can't be sloppy, sixth brother, you better let the sixth sister-in-law watch it! Wang Yaoheng suggested.

"What the eighth brother said is, I'm ······"

"No need, I've already asked my second sister-in-law to take care of Changjing and Changlong. Wang Mingyuan's voice suddenly sounded.

As soon as the words fell, Wang Mingyuan followed a tall yellow-robed old man and walked in.

The old man in the yellow robe is Wang Yaozong, the only foundation-building monk of the Wang family, and rarely shows up on weekdays.

"Second brother, why are you here. Seeing Wang Yaozong, Wang Yaocong and others stood up one after another.

"Mingyuan has something important to announce, let me come over and testify. ”

Wang Yaozong walked to the main seat and sat down.

Wang Mingyuan walked to Wang Yaozong's side, he smiled at Wang Yaocong and the others, and said: "Sixth uncle, eighth uncle, I will tell you a good news, in the territory of Ping'an County under our control, a small Xuanjin ore vein has been discovered. ”

Hearing this, Wang Yaocong and the others were shocked and ecstatic.

"What? Xuanjin Vein? Really?"

"Mingyuan, how big is the Xuanjin vein, and how many years can it be mined?"

"Mingyuan, hurry up and send someone to occupy that Xuanjin vein. ”

Wang Yaozong smiled slightly, and said: "Okay, don't worry, let Mingyuan slowly make it clear, the fifth brother and the ninth brother have already brought people over to garrison, Mingyuan, you can give us a detailed introduction to the situation of the Xuanjin vein!"

"Yes, Second Uncle. Wang Mingyuan nodded, "A few days ago, there were zombies in Qingshi Town in Ping'an County, Changsheng was responsible for guarding Ping'an County, and when he learned that there were zombies in Qingshi Town, he immediately led people to rush over······"

After listening to Wang Mingyuan's narration, Wang Yaocong nodded secretly and asked, "Mingyuan, how much Xuanjin ore can be mined every day in that Xuanjin ore vein? How many catties of Xuanjin can be extracted, and how long can it be mined?"

"At present, three thousand catties of Xuanjin ore can be mined every day, one hundred catties of Xuanjin ore can be refined into one or two Xuanjin, and three catties of Xuanjin can be extracted in a day, according to Qinglin's estimate, it can be mined for three or four years, and the Xuanjin ore mined back is stored in the warehouse, and after the Xuanjin is refined, it is then taken out and sold. ”

"Great, ancestor bless, with this Xuanjin vein, our life will be better, Changsheng has made a great contribution this time, we must reward him well." Wang Yaocong's expression was a little excited.

"Mingyuan, you call a few of our old guys, don't just tell us the news!" Wang Yaoheng said solemnly.

Wang Mingyuan exhaled lightly, his face froze, and he said solemnly: "This Xuanjin vein can allow our Wang family to tide over the current difficulties, and all the uncles here know that our Wang family has always relied on selling Spirit Valley. Silk for a living, the income is very small, there are more than 100 immortal cultivators in the whole clan, each person's expenses add up to a large amount, has been relying on the wealth accumulated by the previous generation, which can barely support the operation of the family, as the saying goes, it is better to teach people to fish than to teach people to fish, when the Xuanjin vein has been hollowed out, I plan to select two clansmen from the clan and cultivate them, hoping to cultivate our own refiners, I don't know what the uncles here have? ”

Our ancestor Wang Yuangang is a second-order mid-grade refiner, leaving behind more than ten refining atlases, if it weren't for the lack of financial support, we would have cultivated a first-order refiner a long time ago, with the support of the Xuanjin vein, we must cultivate a refiner and restore the glory of our ancestors. Wang Yaoheng was the first to agree, looking a little excited.

"That's right, sitting on the mountain and eating empty, just relying on farming, it is already difficult to maintain the operation of the family, there must be a new source of income, refining is the old business of our ancestors, we have a certain foundation, I agree. ”

"I agree, but two people are too few, expand to five!"

Wang Mingyuan's brows furrowed slightly, and he said with some embarrassment: "Five, the cost of cultivating two people is quite a lot, let alone five people. ”

"I mean, select five clansmen with refining talent from the clan to cultivate for a period of time, and then conduct an assessment, and select two best-performing clansmen from them to cultivate, if only two clansmen are selected to be directly trained as refiners, firstly, the best talents may not be able to be excavated, and secondly, talent is such a thing, it is difficult to say, the clan used to directly select two clansmen as refiners to cultivate, isn't it still a failure?"

"The sixth brother is right, cultivating a refiner requires a lot of spirit stones, you can't just smash a large number of spirit stones on them with some talents, speak with facts, pass the assessment, leave the best two clansmen, and cultivate them, so that everyone is also convinced, after all, refining talent is difficult to judge, you can't read a few refining classics, memorize some basic theoretical knowledge, just judge that he has refining talent! Second brother, what do you mean?"

Hearing this, the others looked at Wang Yaozong one after another.

Wang Yaozong thought for a while and said: "What the sixth brother said is good, this suggestion is good, so everyone is also convinced, if you directly select two clansmen to be trained as refiners, if they can't become refiners, other clansmen will inevitably gossip, after all, refining talent is such a thing, it is difficult to judge, and it is not very fair, only by speaking with facts can you convince the public." ”

Wang Mingyuan nodded and said: "Since the second uncle has spoken, then select five clansmen to cultivate for a period of time, and select two of the five people to be cultivated as refiners, do you have any recommended candidates for uncles?"

As soon as the words fell, a somewhat rough voice suddenly sounded: "I recommend Wang Changsheng." ”
