Immortal Path Evergreen

All the five families had arrived. Li Zigong counted and found that they were still short of 6,000 spirit stones.

This was the cost that the five families should bear. Qingxuan Sect would naturally not occupy their shares, but the difference of 6,000 spirit stones must be made up immediately.

If the fourth-level spirit vein cannot be cultivated in one day, the fourth-level formation cannot be arranged, and the purple mansion period cultivators cannot be arranged to defend Chaoyin Mountain, this spirit stone mine will not be considered stable.

So Li Zigong only gave the five families three hours to discuss. If they still could not produce spirit stones after three hours, the 6,000 spirit stones would be produced by Qingxuan Sect, and 3% of the shares would also belong to Qingxuan Sect.

The Ma family and the Zhu family had already plundered their inventory and could not produce spirit stones at all.

In three hours, even if they sold their property, they could not quickly produce such a large amount of spirit stones. Therefore, this 3% of the shares could only be given to the other three families with the strongest strength.

In the end, Wu Xiangzhen, Zhang Zhixuan, and Liu Zixuan each produced 2,000 spirit stones and took 1% of the shares respectively.

In the end, the Qingxuan Sect held 75% of the shares of the small spirit stone mine in Chaoyin Mountain, the Wu family held 11%, the Zhang, Liu and Ma families each held 4%, and the Liucheng Zhu family held 2%. The six parties discussed and shared the spirit stone mine.

There were enough spirit stones, so Li Zigong personally came forward and invited the fourth-level formation master Wang Chengxiang from the Qingxuan Sect, entrusting him to arrange the fourth-level spirit gathering formation and cultivate the fourth-level spirit vein.

Wang Chengxiang was the only fourth-level formation master in the Qingxuan Sect with the cultivation level of the third level of the Purple Mansion. Unless something big happened, it would be very difficult to get him to go down the mountain.

However, for this spirit stone mine, Wang Chengxiang still came forward in person, took out a fourth-level magic weapon from the Qingxuan Sect's treasury as the formation eye, buried 100,000 spirit stones near the formation eye, and then laid out the formation flag within a thousand miles nearby, continuously gathering the spiritual energy scattered in the world and cultivating the fourth-level spirit vein.

When the array eye completely refines 100,000 spiritual stones, the spirit gathering array will be self-sufficient, and this place will be able to absorb spiritual energy continuously and become a fourth-level lower-grade spiritual mountain.

With Wang Chengxiang, a fourth-level array master, and Li Zigong inviting the sect elder Sun Changgeng, who is at the seventh level of the Purple Mansion, the three of them worked together to activate the spirit gathering array. After just a few months, they refined 100,000 lower-grade spiritual stones and successfully cultivated a new fourth-level spiritual vein.

Even for the Qingxuan Sect, the fourth-level spiritual vein is a very good place for cultivation. Not all of the thirteen Purple Mansion cultivators of the Qingxuan Sect have their own fourth-level spiritual veins for cultivation. Many of them are crowded on Qingyang Mountain with Taoist Jinlan.

Although the fifth-level spiritual veins on Qingyang Mountain have more spiritual energy, under the eyes of the Jindan Patriarch, they may not be as free as outside.

After all, a cultivator must have many secrets, and they may not want to let Jin Lao Zu know these secrets. Once there is an opportunity, the purple mansion cultivators of Qingxuan Sect also like to leave the sect and take charge of one side.

Just after the fourth-level spiritual vein was arranged in Chaoyin Mountain, a purple mansion elder of Qingxuan Sect took the initiative to come and guard this spiritual stone vein in person.

The person who came was Sun Changgeng who helped last time. This elder has been practicing for five sixty years and has reached the seventh level of purple mansion. He is one of the more powerful ones among the thirteen purple mansion elders of Qingxuan Sect.

Although he is not sure about the formation of Dan, his status in Qingxuan Sect is still higher than that of Wu Siheng and others.

Qingxuan Sect also spent a lot of money for this spiritual stone mine. Not only did they send Sun Changgeng, a purple mansion late elder, but they also sent five foundation-building cultivators. If the manpower drawn from the five major families is added, it is enough to guard this place.

With manpower, we need to set up a defensive formation. With the support of the formation, the power of low-level cultivators can be brought into play to fight against high-level cultivators.

If a fourth-level formation is set up on Chaoyin Mountain, even if Sun Changgeng's Purple Mansion Elder does not take action, relying on the ten foundation-building and two hundred Qi training cultivators stationed on the mountain, they can block the attack of one or two Purple Mansion cultivators.

Qingxuan Sect has a fourth-level formation master Wang Chengxiang, who has already surveyed the terrain of Chaoyin Mountain. As soon as he returned to Qingxuan Sect, he found materials from the sect's treasury and refined a fourth-level medium-quality formation, the Qinglong Jiuding Formation, and sent it to Chaoyin Mountain.

This formation requires nine foundation-building cultivators to preside over it. It is divided into nine formation eyes in total. Each formation eye is a third-level formation, and it cooperates with sixteen Qi training cultivators below. Once the formation is opened, the nine formation eyes can cooperate with each other to superimpose the power of the nine third-level formations to form a very powerful formation.

Once the power of the Nine Cauldrons Formation is superimposed, the power is extremely terrifying. Even if a Purple Mansion cultivator comes to break through the formation, once he is deeply trapped in the formation, he will be trapped in the formation. Unless someone can help and share the power of the formation, they can get out of the predicament.

Just after the Qingxuan Sect cultivators arranged the formation and made all preparations, the large groups of people from the five major families also rushed to Chaoyin Mountain one after another.

After the mortals of the five major families came to Chaoyin Mountain, under the planning of the Qingxuan Sect cultivators, some began to dig rocks and prepare to mine spiritual stones.

The other part built towns and cultivated fields near Chaoyin Mountain, preparing to settle for a long time.

Just after everything was ready, it took a year to lay the foundation, and Chaoyin Mountain began to mine spiritual stones on a large scale.

In the beginning, because of the large amount of preparation work, only a few spiritual stones could be mined every day. As the mine went deeper and deeper, the output became larger and larger, gradually stabilizing at about 30 to 40 spiritual stones per day.

According to the calculations of the Qingxuan Sect monks, after a period of time, when the mortal monks who mine become more skilled, the output is estimated to be stable at more than 50 spiritual stones.

50 spiritual stones are mined every day, and the annual output is about 18,000. The Qingxuan Sect can get 75%, about 13,500 spiritual stones.

The Qingxuan Sect gives a fixed salary of 200 spiritual stones to the foundation-building monks a year. This spiritual stone mine can support 70 foundation-building monks every year. Even for a large sect like the Qingxuan Sect, it is a huge income.

Although the Zhang family invested 8,000 spiritual stones, according to the current situation, they can also get about 700 spiritual stones every year, and they can recover their costs in more than ten years.

The annual salary of the Zhang family's foundation-building monks is temporarily set at 300 spiritual stones. Relying on this spiritual stone mine, they can also support two foundation-building monks.

Moreover, the family cultivators stationed at the spirit stone mine can also use the fourth-level spirit veins of Chaoyin Mountain to practice. Practicing on the fourth-level spirit veins will not worry about spiritual energy at all, and the practice speed can be faster, which is good for the family.

Even if the spirit stone mine is finally mined out, Qingxuan Sect will take back this fourth-level spirit mountain, and I am afraid it will give a lot of subsidies to the five major families. In general, as long as this spirit stone mine is preserved, even if the family pays 400 good deeds every year, it will still be very profitable.
