Chapter 16: Xuanjin
At noon, the sun was blazing.
In a spacious and bright hall, a table of banquets was set up, Wang Changsheng sat on the main seat, and the people surnamed Wang of the Qingzi generation accompanied him.
"Uncle Jiu, this is the golden spine saury that has just been caught from the river, I don't know what flavor you like, steamed, braised and braised are available, and this Yuzhen chicken, fed with rice since childhood, it tastes good, and this roast duck, the duck grew up drinking well water and eating rice, and the meat is fresh and tender. Wang Qingshan introduced enthusiastically, with a smile on his face.
"Yes, Uncle Jiu, this jade soup is made with the freshest bamboo shoots, which is sweet and delicious. ”
"And this ginseng stewed pigeon, which is also a specialty of our Qingshi Town. ”
The clan elders of the Qingzi generation opened their mouths one after another, introducing the dishes on the table to Wang Changsheng.
"Okay, okay, I want to eat and then clip it myself, don't just watch me eat, you don't have to be too restrained, just drink when you should. Wang Changsheng waved his hand and commanded.
The elders of the clan agreed one after another, but they agreed and rarely moved their chopsticks.
It is rare to be able to accompany Wang Changsheng to eat, so they naturally have to serve carefully, how dare they be too casual.
They all want to please Wang Changsheng, so that they can take their younger generations with them and seek a greater future.
"Uncle Nine, it's not good, something is wrong. At that moment, a somewhat hurried voice sounded.
Wang Qiusheng rushed in in a hurry, followed by several people surnamed Wang from the Qiuzi generation.
"What's the matter? Another clansman has been killed?" Wang Changsheng put down his chopsticks and asked in a deep voice.
"That's right, a corpse was found in the quarry, it was bitten to death by a zombie, and the deceased was named Wang Youliang, who had been working in the quarry. Wang Qiusheng nodded and told the ins and outs of the matter.
"Wang Youliang, didn't I let all the clansmen leave the quarry, why are there still people stranded, and who manages this quarry?" asked Wang Changsheng Zhengse.
A tall middle-aged man took two steps forward and said respectfully: "Grandson Wang Qiu has only seen Uncle Jiu, the quarry is under my control, according to Uncle Jiu's orders, all the clansmen evacuated the quarry yesterday, but I don't know what's going on, Wang Youliang secretly ran back to the quarry last night and was bitten to death by zombies." ”
"Where is this quarry? The corpse hasn't been burned yet!"
"More than 30 miles east of the town, the corpse has not been burned, I let people take care of the corpse, and there is no rumbling. ”
Wang Changsheng got up and stood up, and ordered: "Qiusheng, Qiucai, you two come with me, Qingshan, I remember that there is also a quarry, first withdraw all the clansmen, before the zombies are completely eliminated, all clansmen are not allowed to leave Qingshi Town without permission, and violators will be severely punished." ”
"Yes, Uncle Nine, my nephew will order it. ”
Wang Changsheng's lips moved slightly, a white cloud appeared out of thin air, and Wang Qiusheng pulled Wang Qiucai up.
The white cloud slowly rose into the air and flew towards the east.
Half an hour later, Wang Changsheng appeared in a huge canyon, surrounded by mountains, with a large amount of gravel scattered on the ground, and obvious traces of fire on the surrounding peaks.
Not far away, there is a peak of three or four hundred zhang high, dozens of people surnamed Wang gather at the foot of the mountain, there are obvious traces of calcination on the left side of the foot of the mountain, and there are a lot of huge bluestones mined nearby.
Under Wang Qiucai's guidance, Wang Changsheng soon saw a corpse with two bloody holes in its neck.
"Uncle Jiu, I originally thought that the zombies had been destroyed, and we returned to the quarry this morning, intending to quarry, but as soon as we arrived at the quarry, we found Wang Youliang's body. Wang Qiucai told the details.
Wang Changsheng carefully found that Wang Youliang's chest was bulging, as if there was something in his arms.
He took out a fist-sized cyan stone from Wang Youliang's arms, which was nothing special at first glance, but if you looked closely, you could see that the surface of the stone was faintly emitting golden light, as if there was some metal mixed in it.
"Is this gold?," Wang Changsheng suddenly realized, and asked Wang Qiucai.
"It's not gold, we don't know what it is, it doesn't melt if you put it in the furnace for half a day, and it's useless to cut it. Wang Qiucai shook his head and said.
Wang Changsheng rolled his eyes and asked, "Was this stone collected here?"
"Yes, I just found it a few days ago, and I thought it was gold at first, but I put it in the furnace and burned it for a long time, and the stone was intact, and the third uncle sent Qiu Mao to the county seat to invite the jade master, and I didn't see what it was. ”
"Take me to the place where the stone was found, and in addition, immediately burn the body. ”
Wang Qiucai ordered the two clansmen to burn the corpses, and he personally led Wang Changsheng to the stone wall on the right side of the mountain.
The stone walls were pitch black, obviously burned by fire, and under the sunlight, there were faint bursts of golden light.
"Disperse the people and let them go back, and if anyone has such a stone in their hands, let them hand it over at once, and dare to hide it privately, and punish them severely. Wang Changsheng solemnly commanded.
Wang Qiucai rolled his eyes and asked cautiously, "Ninth Uncle, is this something used by immortals?"
"Don't ask what you shouldn't ask, if it's really something used by immortal cultivators, you can be transferred back to the main family to do things, before that, keep your mouth tight, in addition, gather all the clansmen in the quarry and don't allow them to contact outsiders, this matter is a top secret of our Wang family, and those who leak it will be severely punished." ”
"Yes, Uncle Nine, I'll do it. Wang Qiucai agreed and turned to leave.
"Qiusheng, you go with you, dismiss the clansmen, and don't allow anyone to stay here. ”
Wang Qiusheng answered and turned to leave.
After all the members of the Wang family left, Wang Changsheng raised his hands together, and two crystal ice picks about a foot long flew out and hit the stone wall glowing with golden light.
With two soft sounds, two ice picks shattered, and a patch of white frost appeared on the stone wall.
Wang Changsheng was overjoyed in his heart, and sacrificed the money sword and slashed it on the stone wall.
The sound of gold and iron colliding sounded, and the sword body of the money sword was blocked when it did not enter the stone wall.
"Sure enough, I guessed correctly, this is Xuanjin, I don't know how big the scale is. Wang Changsheng said in an inaudible voice, a little surprise appeared in his eyes.
Xuanjin, a commonly used metal in the immortal cultivation world, is a first-order low-grade refining material, and is often used to refine swords.
A pound of Xuanjin is worth thirty spirit stones on the market, and if it is refined into a spirit weapon, the price will be even higher.
This quarry actually has Xuanjin, a metal ore commonly used in the immortal cultivation world, which is really beyond Wang Changsheng's expectations, and he doesn't know how big the scale of this Xuanjin vein is.
But it doesn't take too much, even if it is only a hundred catties, it can sell three thousand spirit stones, which is also a lot of money for the Wang family.
With this Xuanjin vein, the Wang family will definitely be able to survive the current difficulties, if the scale of the Xuanjin vein is relatively large, maybe it will be an opportunity for the Wang family to rise.
Wang Changsheng calmed down his excitement, looked at the stone wall glowing with golden light, and his face was cloudy for a while.
To be honest, after determining that this was Xuanjin, Wang Changsheng's first thought was not to report to the family, but to monopolize these Xuanjin.
Everyone has selfish intentions, and Wang Changsheng is no exception.
If he monopolized these Xuanjin in exchange for immortal cultivation resources, his cultivation speed would be much faster, and if the amount of Xuanjin was large enough, it would not be a problem for him to cultivate to the ninth level of Qi refining.
Wang Changsheng's heart was in turmoil, on the one hand, he was a family that couldn't make ends meet, and on the other hand, he was a slow self in cultivation.
The family treats him well, his mother sends him immortal cultivation resources every year, his cousin gives him a spirit egg that he is reluctant to eat, before leaving the family, the sixth uncle gave him a few first-order lower grade talisman seals, his father gave him the money sword he used for self-defense, his mother gave him the flying talisman that he had treasured for many years to save his life, and the fifth uncle gave him three qi refining pills.
As soon as Wang Changsheng thought of his relatives' kindness to him, he felt extremely ashamed of his selfishness.
