There is a magnificent green pavilion in Qinglian Mountain, with three golden characters "Qinglian Pavilion" engraved on the plaque.
In the spacious hall, there are two large carved wooden chairs in the center. Below the two carved wooden chairs, there are a row of blue wooden chairs on the left and right sides. Behind the wooden chairs, there is a blue lotus carved.
Six elders of the Wang family sit on the blue wooden chairs on both sides. They are all elders of the "Yao" generation. They have retreated behind the scenes. They are usually responsible for teaching younger generations or guarding the family ancestral hall. They rarely interfere in family affairs. However, the family Wang Mingyuan will discuss with them any major measures.
"Sixth brother, what happened again? The last time Mingyuan called us together, he asked the young tribesmen to come out to work two years in advance. It won't be earlier! The sixteen-year-old tribesmen have low cultivation and don't understand many things. , It would be even worse if tribesmen under the age of sixteen were allowed to go out to do things." An old man wearing a blue robe said.
The old man has a thin appearance, a goatee, and several deep wrinkles on his forehead.
The old man in green robe is named Wang Yaoheng. He ranks eighth among the generation with the word "Yao" and is sixty-two years old this year.
Wang Yaoheng has the fourth spiritual root. He has practiced for many years and is only at the fifth level of Qi refining. He teaches in the lecture hall and is responsible for imparting basic knowledge of immortality.
"Probably not! It's impossible for Mingyuan not to have thought of this. Moreover, the family currently has no new source of income and cannot use so many people. Some of the 'eldest' clan members have come out to work in advance, which is enough to cope with the current situation. "A somewhat hunchbacked old man shook his head and replied.
The hunchbacked old man's name is Wang Yaocong. He ranks sixth in the "Yao" generation and is sixty-three years old this year.
Wang Yaocong has five spiritual roots. He only has the third level of Qi refining. He is proficient in the Five Elements spells and is responsible for teaching the younger generations to practice.
"It's true that Mingyuan summoned us, but he didn't show up. I still have to go back to see my grandson! But there's not much time to waste." A kind-faced old man in white robe frowned and complained.
The old man in white robe is named Wang Yaochen. He ranks tenth in the generation with the character "Yao" and is fifty-five years old this year.
Wang Yaochen has four spiritual roots. He has been cultivating for many years and is only at the fourth level of Qi refining. He is proficient in the art of planting.
"Twelfth brother, where have my siblings gone? Didn't she always take care of her grandson?" Wang Yaocong asked doubtfully.
"The mulberry trees are growing well this year, and you can pick a lot of mulberry leaves. The female family members are too busy, so she went to help. The important task of taking care of my grandson was handed over to me. The two brats Changjing and Changlong are everywhere. They were running around and refused to stay still, causing me to run after them. My old bones were about to fall apart and I finally managed to coax them to sleep." Wang Yaochen complained, but when it came to His grandson's face was filled with happiness.
His qualifications are not good and he is old. His greatest pleasure is to entertain his grandchildren.
Wang Yaocong waved his hand and said: "Okay, twelfth brother, please stop complaining. There must be something very important, so Mingyuan called us here. If you are worried that no one will take care of Changjing and Chimelong, I asked your sixth sister-in-law to come over and take a look. Although your sixth sister-in-law’s legs and feet are not good, she can still take care of two three-year-old children."
"No, Sixth Brother, I just put them to sleep. They shouldn't wake up within an hour." Wang Yaochen declined politely.
"Changjing and Changlong are still young, so it's no good if no one in the family is watching. They have spiritual roots and are the future of the family. They cannot be careless. Brother Six, you should let Sister-in-law Six take care of them! You can rest assured." Wang Yaoheng suggested.
"What my eighth brother said is, I will..."
"No need, I've asked my second sister-in-law to take care of Changjing and Chimelong." Wang Mingyuan's voice suddenly sounded.
As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Mingyuan followed a tall old man in yellow robes and walked in.
The old man in yellow robe is Wang Yaozong, the only foundation-building monk in 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 be a witness."
Wang Yaozong walked to the main seat and sat down.
Wang Mingyuan walked to Wang Yaozong's side. He smiled at Wang Yaocong and others and said seriously: "Uncle Sixth and Uncle Eight, let me tell you some good news. A small black gold vein has been discovered in Ping'an County under our control."
After hearing this, Wang Yaocong and others were shocked and ecstatic.
"What? Black gold veins? Really?"
"Mingyuan, how big is the Xuanjin vein? How many years can it be mined?"
"Mingyuan, quickly send people to occupy the black gold vein."
Wang Yaozong smiled slightly and said: "Okay, don't worry, let Mingyuan explain it slowly. The fifth brother and the ninth brother have already led people to garrison there. Mingyuan, please give everyone a detailed introduction to the situation of the Xuanjin Mine. Bar!"
"Yes, Second Uncle." Wang Mingyuan nodded, "A few days ago, zombies appeared in Qingshi Town, Ping'an County. Changsheng was responsible for guarding Ping'an County. When he learned that there were zombies in Qingshi Town, he immediately led people to rush there..."
After listening to Wang Mingyuan's narration, Wang Yaocong nodded secretly and asked: "Mingyuan, how much black gold ore can be mined from that black gold vein every day? How many kilograms of black gold can be extracted? How long can it be mined?"
"Currently, three thousand kilograms of black gold ore can be mined every day. One hundred kilograms of black gold ore can be extracted to one or two kilograms of black gold. Three kilograms of black gold can be extracted in one day. According to Qinglin's estimate, it can be mined for three to four years. The black gold ore is stored in the warehouse, and after the black gold is extracted, it is sold."
"Great, with the blessing of our ancestors, our life will be easier with this black gold vein. Changsheng has made great achievements this time, so we must reward him well." Wang Yaocong looked a little excited.
"Mingyuan, please call us old guys here and tell us more than just the news!" Wang Yaoheng said seriously.
Wang Mingyuan breathed a sigh of relief, his face condensed, and he said solemnly: "This black gold vein can help our Wang family overcome the current difficulties. All the uncles here know that our Wang family has always made a living by selling spiritual grains and silk, and our income is very high. There are more than a hundred immortal cultivators in the whole family, and each person's expenses add up to a large amount. They have been relying on the wealth accumulated by the previous generation, which can barely support the operation of the family. As the saying goes, Professor It is better to teach a man to fish than to teach him to fish. When the black gold veins are dug out, I plan to select two tribesmen from the tribe and train them, hoping to cultivate our own weapon refiners. I wonder what the uncles here have to say? Speak up and let’s discuss it.”
"Training a weapon refiner? Okay! Our ancestor Wang Yuangang was a second-level mid-level weapon refiner. He left behind more than a dozen weapon refiner maps. If we didn't have enough financial support, we would have trained a first-level weapon refiner long ago. Yes, with the support of the black gold veins, we must train a weapon refiner and restore the glory of our ancestors." Wang Yaoheng was the first to agree, looking a little excited.
"That's right. It's hard to keep the family running just by farming. We must have new sources of income. Weapon refining is our ancestors' old profession. We have a certain foundation. I agree."
"I agree, but two people are too few. Let's expand it to five people!"
Wang Mingyuan frowned slightly and said with some embarrassment: "Five people? It costs a lot to train two people, let alone five people."
"What I mean is to select five tribesmen with talent for refining weapons from the tribe and train them for a period of time, and then conduct an assessment and select the two tribesmen with the best performance to train them. If only two tribesmen are selected and directly trained into refiners, Firstly, it is not possible to find the best talents for weapon masters. Secondly, it is hard to say what talent is. In the past, the clan directly selected two clansmen to be trained as weapon refiners. Didn’t they still fail?”
"Sixth Brother is right. It takes a lot of spiritual stones to train weapon refiners. You can't just throw a lot of spiritual stones at them just because of their talent. Speak with facts, pass the assessment, and keep the two best clan members. Cultivate him, so that everyone can be convinced. After all, it is difficult to determine the talent for weapon refining. You can't just read a few weapon refining classics and memorize some basic theoretical knowledge and just judge that he has talent for weapon refining! Second brother , what do you mean?"
After hearing this, others looked at Wang Yaozong.
Wang Yaozong thought for a while and said: "Sixth brother is right. This suggestion is good. This way everyone will be convinced. If two clan members are directly selected to be trained as weapon refiners, if they fail to become weapon refiners, other clan members will inevitably gossip. , after all, it is difficult to judge something like weapon refining talent, and it is not very fair. Only by speaking with facts can we convince the public."
Wang Mingyuan nodded and said: "Since the second uncle has spoken, let's select five tribesmen to train for a period of time, and select two from the five to be trained as weapon refiners. Do you have any candidates you can recommend?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a rough voice suddenly sounded: "I recommend Wang Changsheng."
