Cultivation begins with the Shen family

Chapter 65 Business
At the end of the corridor is a huge cave. The ores on the stone walls around the cave continuously emit a faint fluorescence, and there are many gray-white ores of different sizes scattered on the ground.
"I didn't expect that there would be a white clay crystal mine of this size hidden under the Xitai Mountain."

Shen Zhirui picked up a fist-sized gray-white ore from the ground and inspected it carefully, then he couldn't help murmuring.

He was surprised to find that the [white clay crystal] content in the ore in his hand had reached about [-]%, and the whole ore contained only a small amount of impurities.

It should be known that [White Clay Crystal], as a first-level middle-grade spiritual material, has a lot of uses in refining equipment, setting up formations, etc., so the demand for this kind of ore has always been very strong in the market.

Calculated according to the market price, just such a fist-sized [white clay crystal] in his hand can be sold for a high price of ten spirit stones, and sometimes even higher.

After a brief inspection, Shen Zhirui put away the ore in his hand, looked at the messy mine in front of him again, and began to think secretly in his heart.

Judging from the distribution of [white clay crystals] in this cave, this vein should be very rich in reserves, at least it will be a medium-sized vein. If we can work together to plan and mine it, it can last for decades.

Right now, he still has a doubt in his heart. He doesn't know whether the Zhou family knew about the existence of this ore vein before, or whether this ore vein has been hidden deep in the bottom of Xitai Mountain until it was discovered by the sandworm.

However, judging from all the current signs, Shen Zhirui is more inclined to the latter. The Zhou family did not discover the existence of this clay crystal vein before, and this vein was discovered by the invading sandworms.

After all, there is no trace of man-made mining in this mine, and some are just the mess left by the sandworms.

Of course, this is just Shen Zhirui's guess. It is possible that the Zhou family has secretly mined this vein long ago, but the secrecy work was done well, and it was hidden from the eyes and ears of other families.

"Uncle Fourteen, go and ask the Zhou family to come over and have a look."

After thinking for a while, Shen Zhirui directly spoke to the middle-aged clansman behind him.

This middle-aged clansman's name is Shen Dao'an, and he ranks fourteenth in the Dao family. He currently has the cultivation base of the sixth level of Qi training, and he is only one step away from the late stage of Qi training. He is a clan member that the family focuses on training.

"Zhirui, are you going to tell the Zhou family about this mine?"

Shen Daoan asked back with some puzzlement.

Obviously, in his opinion, this mine vein is undoubtedly a huge wealth. If the family can send people to mine it, he will get a stable and rich income from spirit stones every year.

On this side, Shen Zhirui naturally understood what the other party was thinking, and then said with a wry smile:
"Uncle Fourteen, this is not our family's territory after all. If we forcefully occupy it, we will definitely lose people's tongues. Other families will even think that our Shen family will start to bully the weak after becoming the foundation family. extremely unfavorable”

Since being educated by Shen Xiangchi, Shen Zhirui has also gradually understood such things as family prestige and people's hearts. If a family wants to be strong, it cannot do without the support of those small families.

"Besides, the mining of this white clay crystal mine is extremely laborious, and requires a lot of material and manpower to have a stable output. At present, the family does not have so many people who can invest in it."

"So our best way is to cooperate with the Zhou family and let the Zhou family send the secular mortals down the mountain to mine."

After listening to Shen Zhirui's words, Shen Dao'an immediately showed a sudden look, so he immediately went to look for Zhou family monks.

And after he left, Shen Zhirui also took the remaining two clansmen to seriously explore this mine vein, making preparations for the next thing.

Not long after, Zhou Huafeng came to this mine under the leadership of Shen Daoan.

When he saw the scene in front of him, he was also stunned. Obviously, he didn't expect that there was something hidden under his spiritual mountain.

But when he was in a daze, Shen Zhirui had already walked over, and said with a smile on his face:

"Zhou Daoyou, I didn't expect that there is such a mine underground under the nobleman. It's really good luck."

After hearing this, Zhou Huafeng's old face looked very ugly, so he could only say with a bitter face:
"I'm ashamed to say that my family has lived on Xitai Mountain for more than a hundred years and didn't find it."

At this time, his heart was bleeding. If he had known that there was such a vein under his own spirit mountain, he would have sent his clansmen to mine it secretly in exchange for spirit stones.

Even if the ancestors of his Zhou family could have discovered this mineral vein earlier, his Zhou family would have developed a long time ago by relying on this mineral vein, so how could it be reduced to such a field today.

Now that this vein of mine has been discovered by the Shen family, it would be nice if his Zhou family could have a sip of soup along with it.

Despite all the remorse in his heart, Zhou Huafeng also understood that there was nothing he could do about it, and he could only blame themselves for guarding a treasure mountain but they couldn't detect it.

On the other side, Shen Zhirui saw the other party's expression in his eyes, and also understood the remorse in the other party's heart at this moment.

After all, whoever encounters this kind of thing can't help but directly slap himself, it's simply blind.

"Fellow Daoists don't have to be so regretful. If it wasn't for the sandworm attack, this vein of mine would have been dormant deep underground."

Shen Zhirui spoke again slowly, then changed the topic and said with a smile:
"I have a business here and I want to discuss it with fellow daoists."

Zhou Huafeng is also an old man, and from the former's tone, he has already heard the meaning behind the words.

"Fellow Daoist, just say what you want!"

"According to my speculation, this white clay crystal mine is a rich mine, and the combined planning and mining can last for decades. As long as five or six qi training monks and thousands of miners are invested, a considerable amount of income can be obtained every year. "

After all, Shen Zhirui paused for a moment, glanced at the silent Zhou Huafeng before continuing:
"My Shen family is willing to jointly mine this mine vein with the Daoyou family. The mining matters will be in charge of the Daoyou family. We will send people to assist. We will be responsible for selling the mined ore, and we will share the proceeds [-]-[-]."

Hearing this, Zhou Huafeng couldn't help looking at Shen Zhirui, and a trace of surprise flashed in those cloudy eyes.

He never expected that the Shen family would be so generous. Not only did they not tyrannically occupy this vein, but they were willing to cooperate with them in mining together, and the two parties even shared the proceeds equally.

Although he also knew that this cooperation was completely dominated by the Shen family, and the sales process was firmly controlled by the Shen family, but for them at present, it could not have been a better result.

After all, with the current strength of their Zhou family, they can't hold this mine at all, let alone sell the mined ore.

Now relying on the new foundation-building power of the Shen family, his Zhou family not only regained the ancestral spirit mountain, but also got a piece of the pie in a safe and stable manner, so why not do it.

After thinking about the key points, Zhou Huafeng agreed to Shen Zhirui's proposal without any hesitation.

Even in order to close the relationship with the Shen family, he voluntarily reduced his family's original [-]% income to [-]%, and distributed the income according to the ratio of [-]%, allowing the Shen family to take the lion's share.
