Lin Jie came down from Yunling Mountain. When he was crossing the river at the pier, he happened to see Chief Zhao leading two tribesmen by the river, as if they were waiting for someone.
Although intelligence showed that the Zhao family would discover the Yangang stone vein tomorrow, Lin Jie sped up after getting on board in order to prevent further delays.
Chief Zhao on the dock looked at Lin Jie going away, turned around and whispered to the tribesmen behind him:
"Shantai, are you sure that the Yangang stone vein you brought back yesterday was picked up in the opposite valley?"
"Chief, it is absolutely true. Otherwise, I would not dare to trouble you to go and investigate it yourself."
Patriarch Zhao nodded slightly.
Is it true.
We will know the answer soon.
only.
Why did Lin Jie also cross the river?
Chief Zhao always felt as if he was about to miss something, so he immediately said, "Let's not wait for the ancestor, let's set off first."
The other side.
After Lin Jie got ashore, he saw that the Zhao family was also starting to board the ship. He immediately slapped a speed talisman on his body. Spiritual light surged under his feet and his figure immediately floated up like a leaf. It only took him less than half a cup of tea to cross the hundred-acre plum forest, climbed the mountain without stopping, and came to the valley.
The top of the valley.
Xuan Hongyu, who was dressed in red, was looking down at something. When she saw Lin Jie coming over, she nodded slightly and said, "Fellow Daoist Lin, I have just surveyed it. This valley does contain a small first-grade low-grade Yangang stone vein. If we mine it all, we should be able to sell it for several thousand low-grade spirit stones."
The Xuan family might not value a few thousand low-grade spirit stones.
But for the Lin family, it is a considerable income.
Lin Jie's face was filled with a satisfied smile.
While the two were talking.
Chieftain Zhao also led a group of clansmen to the valley. When he saw Xuan Hongyu, his pupils shrank. Then he saw Lin Jie holding a piece of Yangang stone in his hand. He shook his body and realized that he was one step late after all.
Xuan Hongyu did not have a good impression of the Zhao family because of Zhao Wentai's incident.
He frowned and said,
"There is a small Yangang stone vein hidden here. Ten days ago, Chief Lin reported it to me in Baihe Market. According to the rules, this vein will belong to the Lin family from now on. If I find out that your Zhao family is doing something behind the scenes again, this time, it won't be as simple as breaking an arm. Do you understand?!"
"Yes, yes, yes."
Patriarch Zhao didn't dare to say a word of retort.
He dragged his fellow tribesmen, who were looking unwilling, down the mountain.
After crossing the river.
Only then did I see that Old Ancestor Zhao had arrived late.
After Patriarch Zhao told the truth.
Patriarch Zhao narrowed his eyes slightly.
Ever since Lin Jie took over as patriarch, things have been going wrong for the Zhao family.
First, Wutonglin's ambush to kill Lin Jie failed, and the Lin family cleverly resolved the spiritual insect crisis. Then, a talented young man in their clan suddenly died, and even the Yangang Stone mine they had just discovered was snatched away by the Lin family.
During this period.
There is the shadow of Lin Jie in them.
But now Lin Jie has the Xuan family's amulet, and they can't do anything about it. Patriarch Zhao gritted his teeth and said, "Send someone to keep a close eye on the Lin family, and report back to me immediately if there is any news."
In the valley.
Xuan Hongyu extended her hand to Lin Jie and said,
"I still have time. Take out the protective magic circle and I will help you set it up."
Lin Jie shook his head awkwardly.
After going to the market and buying talisman pens, talisman paper, and talisman blood, all the clan's spirit stones were gone. He planned to wait for the red marrow rice to mature, sell them, and then go to the market to buy a set of magic arrays.
There are still many low-level monsters roaming around in Leimeng Mountain.
Those who mine the mineral veins are mortals.
Without the protective formation, there would be no guarantee of life.
Xuan Hongyu thought about it and understood the current situation of the Lin family. She slapped her storage bag and a flash of light appeared. In an instant, twelve formation flags flew out one after another. As she typed one spell after another into the formation, the formation flags fell on the twelve directions of Tiangan and Disha in order.
When the last spell hit the formation plate.
The twelve formation flags hummed.
Balls of white light immediately rose up, lingering together. When they reached mid-air, they fell down with a bang, forming a white light shield. The white light shield flashed slightly and disappeared.
The valley before them suddenly turned into a jungle.
The jungle was shrouded in mist.
Xuan Hongyu handed a formation card to Lin Jie:
"This is the formation card of the Yellow Sand Mist Formation. Take it. Although it is only a first-level mid-grade formation, its combined attack and defense effects are enough to resist monsters below the first-level late stage. It is also sufficient."
"Fellow Daoist Xuan, how many spirit stones does this set of magic array cost? I will return them to you in full after the mineral vein is mined."
If you refuse.
He couldn't say it.
Because the Lin family is really pauper now.
This set of protective magic array is also urgently needed.
"It's just a first-level magic array. Compared to your life-saving grace to me, it's nothing."
However, Lin Jie felt that the Xuan family had given enough.
after all.
The second-level magic formation they had at Yunling Mountain also came from the Xuan family. They felt that the Lin family had become well-off, so they had to repay the favor.
Xuan Hongyu was very satisfied to see that Lin Jie was not fussy, and said:
"I found the Kuili Mountain you mentioned last time. It's just outside the Eastern Wasteland. Fellow Daoist Lin, although you are already in the middle stage of Qi training, there are demons and monsters everywhere in the Eastern Wasteland. I advise you to at least break through to the late stage of Qi training before considering it."
Kuili Mountain is actually in the East Desert?!
Lin Jie felt a little sorry.
but.
If the Lin family wants to be conferred a title by the imperial court in the future, they will have to expand their territory. Baihe County was previously the edge of the Eastern Wilderness, and it was opened up by the ancestors of the Xuan family over several generations, which led to the present-day Baihe County. Under the suppression of the dynasty's luck, the demons and monsters in the Eastern Wilderness would not frequently invade.
After Lin Jie sent Xuan Hongyu down the mountain, he returned to Yunling Mountain first.
When he told his third brother and fourth sister about their Yangang stone vein, the two of them were stunned for a long time before they reacted. The fourth sister looked at Lin Jie with admiration:
"Master, you are really amazing! You actually found a vein."
The third brother patted his chest and said,
"Master, I will be responsible for mining the mineral veins. Let the fourth sister stay at home to take care of the spiritual fields. I promise to complete the task beautifully."
The eldest brother is in seclusion.
It is impossible for Lin Jie to guard the mine all day.
The third brother is indeed the best candidate.
Lin Jie handed the Yellow Sand Mist Array Card to the other party and said,
"I have notified the mayor of Baihe Town and asked him to select a thousand strong men from the tribe. Judging from the time, they are already waiting at the dock to cross the river. Let's go down the mountain now."
"Yes, Patriarch!"
My third brother has been stuck in Yunling Mountain for nearly a year.
I'm so happy to be able to get out.
The two men escorted a thousand strong tribesmen to the valley. After things were settled and the mineral vein was officially mined, Lin Jie withdrew from the valley. Before leaving, he specifically instructed his third brother not to leave the yellow sand fog array without his instructions, no matter what the situation.
When we came down from Mount Raymond and returned to the clan mountain secret room.
The familiar voice in my mind came again:
"bite"
"You discovered a first-grade low-quality mineral vein for your family, and you received thirty-eight contribution points."
Add the previous ones.
That is to say.
He now has fifty-eight family contribution points, which allows him to draw a lottery once and redeem four pieces of information!
Lin Jie said immediately:
"Exchange for the lottery!"
