Chapter 25 Secret Discussion
On Qinglian Mountain, a certain majestic blue pavilion, with three golden characters "Qinglian Tower" 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 flower carved.

Six elders of the royal family sat on the blue wooden chairs on both sides. They are all elders of the "Yao" generation. Wang Mingyuan would discuss with them any major move.

"Sixth brother, what happened again? The last time Mingyuan called us together, he asked the young clansmen to come out to work two years in advance, so it won't be earlier! The 16-year-old clansman has a low level of cultivation and doesn't understand many things. It would be even worse if people under the age of 16 were allowed to go out to do errands." An old man in a blue robe said.

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

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

Wang Yaoheng is a four-spiritual root, he has practiced for many years, but he is only at the fifth level of qi refining. He teaches in the lecture hall and is responsible for imparting basic knowledge of immortal cultivation.

"Probably not! It's impossible for Mingyuan not to have thought of this, and the family has no new source of income at present, so they don't need so many people. Some members of the "elder" generation 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 is Wang Yaocong, who ranks sixth in the "Yao" generation and is 63 years old this year.

Wang Yaocong is a five-spirit root with only three levels of Qi refining. He is proficient in five-element spells and is responsible for teaching younger generations to practice.

"It's true that Mingyuan called us together, but he didn't show up. I have to go back to see my grandson! There's not much time to waste." A benevolent white-robed old man frowned and complained.

The old man in white robe is called Wang Yaochen, who ranks tenth in the "Yao" generation, and is 55 years old this year.

Wang Yaochen has four spiritual roots, he has practiced for many years, but he is only at the fourth level of Qi Refining, and he is proficient in planting.

"Twelfth brother, where are the siblings? Isn't she always taking care of the grandson?" Wang Yaocong asked suspiciously.

"This year's spiritual mulberry tree is growing well, and you can pick a lot of spiritual mulberry leaves. The female relatives are too busy, so she went to help, and the responsibility of taking care of the grandson was entrusted to me. The two stinky boys Changjing and Changlong are everywhere. Running around, just refusing to stay honest, causing me to run after their asses, my old bones are about to fall apart, and I managed to coax them to sleep." Wang Yaochen complained, but said His grandson's face was full of happiness.

His aptitude is not good, and he is old again, the greatest pleasure is to play with his grandchildren.

Wang Yaocong waved his hand and said, "Okay, Brother Twelve, don't complain, Mingyuan must have something very important to call us here, if you are worried that no one will take care of Changjing and Changlong, I'll ask your sixth sister-in-law to take a look, although your sixth sister-in-law's legs and feet are not good, it's still no problem to take care of two three-year-old children."

"No need, Sixth Brother, I just coaxed them to sleep, and within an hour, they probably won't be able to wake up." Wang Yaochen politely refused.

"Changjing and Changlong are still young, so it's okay if no one is watching them at home. They have spiritual roots, and they are the future of the family. Don't be careless. Sixth Brother, you should let Sixth Sister-in-law watch over them! Everyone can rest assured." Wang Yaoheng suggested.

"What the eighth brother said is that I just..."

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

As soon as the words were finished, Wang Mingyuan walked in following a tall and slender old man in yellow robes.

The yellow-robed old man is Wang Yaozong, the only foundation cultivator of the Wang family, and he 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 chief seat and sat down.

Wang Mingyuan walked to Wang Yaozong's side. He smiled at Wang Yaocong and the others, and said seriously, "Sixth Uncle, Eighth Uncle, I have some good news for you. In Ping'an County under our control, a small vein of black gold was discovered."

Hearing these words, Wang Yaocong and others were startled and ecstatic.

"What? Profound gold veins? Really?"

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

"Mingyuan, hurry up and send someone to occupy that black gold vein."

Wang Yaozong smiled slightly, and said: "Okay, don't be in a hurry, let Mingyuan make it clear slowly, the fifth brother and the ninth brother have already brought people to garrison there, Mingyuan, please give us a detailed introduction to the situation of the Xuanjin vein Bar!"

"Yes, Second Uncle." Wang Mingyuan nodded, "A few days ago, zombies appeared in Qingshi Town, Ping'an County. Changsheng was in charge of 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 that black gold mine mine every day? How many catties of black gold can be extracted? How long can it be mined?"

"At present, three thousand catties of black gold ore can be mined every day. One hundred catties of black gold ore can be extracted into one or two catties of black gold, and three catties of black gold can be extracted in one day. According to Qinglin's estimation, 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 will be sold."

"Great, thanks to the ancestors. With this black gold mine, our life will be easier. Changsheng has made great achievements this time, so he must be rewarded properly." Wang Yaocong looked a little excited.

"Mingyuan, you called some of us old fellows here, not just to tell us the news!" Wang Yaoheng said seriously.

Wang Mingyuan let out a sigh of relief, his expression froze, and he said solemnly: "This mysterious gold vein can help our Wang family overcome the difficulties in front of us. All the uncles here know that our Wang family has been selling spirit grains and silk for a living, and the income is very high. At least, there are more than 100 immortal cultivators in the whole family, and the sum of each person's expenses is a large sum. It has been relying on the wealth accumulated by the previous generation to barely support the operation of the family. As the saying goes, teach people It is better to teach a man how to fish than to fish. When the black gold vein is hollowed out, I plan to select two people from the clan and train them. I hope that we can train our own craftsmen. I don’t know what the uncles here have to say? Come out and have a discussion."

"Cultivate a refiner? Okay! Our ancestor Wang Yuangang was a second-level middle-grade refiner, and he left more than a dozen pieces of refiner maps. If we didn't have enough financial support, we would have trained a first-grade refiner a long time ago." Alright, with the support of the black gold veins, we must cultivate a craftsman and restore the glory of our ancestors." Wang Yaoheng was the first to agree, with a somewhat excited expression on his face.

"That's right, it's difficult to maintain the family's operations by just relying on farming. There must be a new source of income. Artifact refining is the old line of our ancestors. We have a certain foundation, I agree."

"I also agree, but two people are too few, let's expand to five people!"

Wang Mingyuan frowned slightly, and said with some embarrassment: "Five? It costs a lot to train two, let alone five."

"What I mean is, select five clansmen who have the talent for refining from the clan to train for a period of time, and then conduct an assessment, and select two clansmen with the best performance to train them. If only two clansmen are selected and directly trained as refining Weapon masters, firstly, may not be able to dig out the best talents, and secondly, talent is such a thing, it’s hard to say, the clan used to directly select two clansmen to be trained as weapon masters, isn’t it still a failure?”

"Sixth brother is right. It takes a lot of spirit stones to train a craftsman. You can't throw a lot of spirit stones on them with some talent. Speak with the facts, pass the assessment, and keep the two best clansmen. Cultivate it, so that everyone will be convinced. After all, it is difficult to judge such a thing as a weapon refining talent. If you can't read a few weapon refining classics and memorize some basic theoretical knowledge, you can judge that he has a weapon refining talent! 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, so everyone will be convinced, if you directly select two clansmen to be trained as weapon refiners, if they fail to become weapon refiners, other clansmen will inevitably gossip , After all, such things as crafting talents are difficult to judge, and it is not very fair, and only the facts can convince the public."

Wang Mingyuan nodded and said: "Since the second uncle has spoken, let's select five clan members to train for a period of time, and select two from the five to be trained as weapon refiners. Do you have any recommendations for candidates?"

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

　Sorry for the delay,
