After Guo Congyun passed away, the current person in charge of the Guo family is named Guo Xianlong. This person is currently at the sixth level of the Golden Core, but his lifespan is less than 700 years old. In the future, he may become a ninth-level Golden Core cultivator.
Although Zhou Yang planned to formally talk to the leaders of the Guo family about the giant spiritual stone mine, he did not reveal his identity directly and visit with great fanfare. Instead, he hid his identity and cultivation and sneaked into the Guo family's spiritual mountain in private.
, directly disguised as a monk from the Guo family's Zifu, and was allowed to enter Guo Xianlong's cave in the name of asking for advice.
Probably the Guo family monk that Zhou Yang pretended to be had a high status and was usually highly regarded by Guo Xianlong, so he actually let Zhou Yang enter the place where he practiced.
When Zhou Yang saw him, he had just finished withdrawing his power, and there was still a layer of cyan aura around him that had not dissipated.
"Xiao Qi, what happened to you that you need grandpa to explain to you?"
Seeing Zhou Yang's disguised younger brother of the Guo family come in, Guo Xianlong, who was sitting on the cold jade bed, immediately smiled and took the initiative to greet him kindly and asked why he was here.
He didn't realize at all that the junior in front of him had been replaced by someone else.
When Zhou Yang looked at the middle-aged man in blue shirt with a kind smile on the jade bed, a smile flashed on his face, and he said with a faint smile: "There is an important matter that requires Fellow Daoist Guo to explain to Zhou!"
Guo Xianlong's expression suddenly changed. His face was full of shock and anger. He immediately opened his mouth and spat out a green umbrella to protect himself, and then shouted angrily: "Who are you? Where is Guo's nephew now?"
He spoke loudly, obviously wanting to let the other Guo family monks on the mountain know.
But he soon discovered that his voice could not reach the room even half a step, and everything just now was in vain.
"Fellow Daoist Guo, there is no need to get excited. If Zhou wants to harm you, it will be useless no matter how many people you call to come over."
Zhou Yang had a faint smile on his face, but he no longer concealed his identity and directly showed his true appearance.
"Ah! It turns out it's...it turns out to be Senior Zhou!"
Guo Xianlong's face turned pale, and he looked at Zhou Yang in horror, his face full of panic.
He naturally recognized Zhou Yang. More than ten years ago, the entire Guo family was almost exterminated because of the name "Zhou Yang". As the leader of the Guo family, how could he not be impressed by Zhou Yang's appearance.
It was just because he recognized it that he panicked.
Zhou Yang and the Guo family had a big feud, even though Zhou Yang had already stated that he would not pursue the past after the Guo family presented the best spiritual stone last time.
But now Zhou Yang suddenly concealed his identity and sneaked into Guo's house and his cave, which had to make him think of something bad.
Zhou Yang had already expected this, so he was not surprised at all when he saw Guo Xianlong's reaction. He just nodded slightly and said: "Since you know me, you should know that I really want to harm you, and it will be useless no matter how you resist, so
It’s better to put this thing away first.”
Guo Xianlong's face suddenly froze, but he also knew that what Zhou Yang said was the truth, so after hesitating for a moment, he still obeyed and took back the magic weapon.
After he put away the magic weapon, he took a deep breath to suppress the panic in his heart, bowed respectfully to Zhou Yang and said: "I don't know that [Master Qianyang] is here. I'm sorry that I missed you so much, so please forgive me!"
Seeing this, Zhou Yang waved his hands with a smile on his face and said: "Sit down first, then sit down and talk. I am not here to ask you for guilt this time, but to clarify your doubts."
Looking at him, it's as if he is the owner here.
However, Guo Xianlong didn't dare to have any opinions at all. He could only sit back obediently and full of doubts.
However, as soon as he sat down, Zhou Yang's next words shocked him so much that he jumped up from the bed.
"I came here this time to ask Fellow Daoist Guo where exactly your Guo family discovered that giant spiritual stone vein, and it has been mined for thousands of years without anyone discovering it!"
Zhou Yang looked at Guo Xianlong with a deep look, and straight away stated his intention without any nonsense.
When Guo Xianlong heard what he said, he immediately jumped up from the cold jade bed, looked at him with a horrified face and shouted: "Senior, must you have made a mistake? How could the Guo family have a giant spirit stone vein? Then
How can it be that a small family like my Guo family can have something to grow?"
Seeing his reaction, Zhou Yang said calmly without changing his expression: "You know whether the Guo family has mastered a giant spirit stone vein, and I also know it. If I don't have sufficient evidence, why would I be like this?
Came to see you secretly while hiding my identity?"
Guo Xianlong's expression suddenly changed again and again, with an obvious look of panic flashing in his eyes.
But although he was horrified in his heart, he still said harshly: "Junior, I don't know why you said this, senior. In short, I dare to guarantee it with my head. The Guo family definitely does not have any giant spiritual stone veins!"
Seeing Guo Xianlong's stubborn mouth, Zhou Yang only found it funny.
He glanced at Guo Xianlong jokingly and said in a calm tone: "Really? Then where did the thirty-nine boxes of medium-grade spiritual stones in your Guo family's treasury come from? The high-grade spirits in these two boxes
Where did the stone and [spiritual marrow stone] come from? Don’t tell me that this is not your Guo family’s thing!”
After speaking, he waved his hand, and the two treasure boxes he brought out from the Guo family's treasure house were thrown in front of Guo Xianlong. The high-grade spiritual stones and [spiritual marrow stones] inside appeared in Guo Xianlong's eyes as the lids of the boxes opened.
As soon as he saw these two treasure chests, Guo Xianlong's face suddenly turned pale. He looked at Zhou Yang with horrified eyes, his throat rolled, but the words of denial were still not uttered after all.
In the face of this ironclad fact, if he continues to deny it, it will be contempt for Zhou Yang, the Nascent Soul monk.
As for accusing Zhou Yang of sneaking into the Guo family's treasury to steal things, Guo Xianlong would not dare to say it in front of Zhou Yang even if he had ten nerves.
Even if Zhou Yang left now, he would not dare to go to the Nascent Soul monks of the [Liuyun Merchant Alliance] and talk about this matter.
Because if those Nascent Soul cultivators were to know that the Guo family had been in control of a giant spiritual stone vein for thousands of years, the Guo family would definitely be confiscated even if they were not exterminated.
"The Guo family must also know the reason why a man is not guilty but is guilty of carrying a jade, otherwise he would not have concealed this news for thousands of years."
"But now that I know about this, of course it's impossible for you to make a fortune in silence like this!"
Zhou Yang looked at Guo Xianlong, who was pale and silent, and made it clear directly that he wanted a piece of the pie.
His attitude actually made Guo Xianlong feel a little more at ease.
After all, he is also the person in charge of a big family. Although Guo Xianlong was still panicking about the exposure of the family's biggest secret, he tried his best to suppress the panic in his heart. He looked at Zhou Yang with evasive eyes and asked in a low voice: "Senior?
Do you mean to jointly develop the giant spirit stone mine with our Guo family?"
When Zhou Yang heard this, he waved his hand and said: "Let's not discuss this for now. Please answer my initial question first. Where is the giant spirit stone mine? How did your Guo family discover it? And
How did you hide this matter from outsiders for thousands of years?"
"this……"
Guo Xianlong glanced at Zhou Yang with an ugly expression, obviously unwilling to reveal the Guo family's biggest secret so easily.
"What? You don't want to?"
Zhou Yang narrowed his eyes, and a dangerous aura quietly emanated from him.
Guo Xianlong was suddenly startled and shouted like a frightened rabbit: "Junior doesn't dare, I will help my senior clear his doubts!"
Then he immediately told Zhou Yang all the information he wanted to know without Zhou Yang asking any more questions.
It turns out that the reason why the Guo family was able to hide the giant spirit stone vein from being discovered by outsiders for thousands of years was because the giant spirit stone vein was not within the scope of the Immortal Cultivation World of Liuyun Continent, but was located in the wild jungle.
More than a thousand years ago, the golden elixir ancestor of the Guo family ventured into the wild jungle in search of an opportunity to form elixirs. When being chased by a fifth-level beast, he accidentally entered a wild and forbidden area.
I accidentally discovered the giant spirit stone vein.
At that time, the golden elixir ancestor of the Guo family excavated many high-grade spiritual stones in the giant spiritual stone vein and brought them back to the Yunzhou Immortal Cultivation World. Then he used these high-grade spiritual stones to exchange for auxiliary elixir-forming spiritual objects, and successfully became Guo Jiali.
The first golden elixir monk since the clan.
What happened later became simple. Relying on the spiritual stones that were continuously excavated from the giant spiritual stone vein, the Guo family used a large amount of resources to pile up several Jindan monks, completely stabilizing the status of the Jindan family.
But as Zhou Yang said, the Guo family monks of all generations obviously knew how involved the giant spirit stone mine was, so they did not dare to exploit the giant spirit stone mine. They usually let the family's senior monks take turns.
In the name of traveling, he secretly sneaked there to mine.
These high-level monks of the Guo family who went to mine all used the [Netherworld Blood Pact] to swear a blood oath not to leak information about the giant spiritual stone mine, and they all practiced a soul secret technique that the Guo family had tried their best to collect, so they were not afraid of being exposed.
Search the soul to learn the location of the giant spirit stone mine.
It is precisely because of such caution that the Guo family was able to secretly mine the giant spiritual stone mine for thousands of years without leaking the news.
If it hadn't been for Zhou Yang's persecution this time, the Guo family would have had no choice but to offer the top-quality spiritual stones unearthed from the giant spiritual stone mine to resolve their grudges. Zhou Yang would not have followed the lead and found them hiding in the family.
There are a large number of middle-grade spiritual stones and high-grade spiritual stones in the treasure house.
At this time, after Zhou Yang asked clearly about the situation of the giant spirit stone mine, he changed the subject and suddenly looked at Guo Xianlong and asked: "A giant spirit stone vein can produce at least a dozen pieces of top quality spirit stones. You guys?"
The Guo family has been digging for thousands of years, but they only found one top-quality spiritual stone?"
When Guo Xianlong heard what he said, he immediately panicked and quickly explained: "Senior Mingjian, although the Guo family has been digging for thousands of years, they have only excavated one-fifth of the entire vein because they did not dare to send people to mine on a large scale.
As soon as it arrives, the top-quality spiritual stone dedicated to the senior was only unearthed more than two hundred years ago!"
"And after all, the giant spirit stone mine is located in the wild jungle. Although our Guo family has mastered the method of entering and leaving the forbidden area, the family monks cannot return safely every time they enter the wild jungle. Over the past thousand years, in order to
There are more than thirty monks from the Purple Mansion period of the Guo family who were buried in the wild jungle after digging for spiritual stones, and there were even two golden elixir monks among them!"
What he said was true, but how could Zhou Yang believe it so easily.
Dang even looked at him with sharp eyes and shouted: "How dare you lie! The best spiritual stone will only be located in the center of the mine. Since you dug there more than 300 years ago, how could you only unearth one top quality spiritual stone? Is it possible?
Do you really think that I am so soft-hearted that I dare not kill anyone?"
As he spoke, a majestic pressure of spiritual consciousness instantly fell on Guo Xianlong, suppressing him until his knees weakened and he fell to the ground unable to move at all.
This sudden change also frightened Guo Xianlong. He didn't even dare to resist the pressure of his spiritual consciousness. He just trembled and shouted: "You are wronged. Senior knows clearly that everything the junior said is true and there is absolutely no falsehood."
, if the seniors don’t believe it, the juniors can open the Guo family’s treasure house and let the seniors search it. If my Guo family really hid half of the best spiritual stone secretly, everyone in the Guo family will die badly!"
If he swore on his own life, Zhou Yang might still not believe it.
It can be seen that he has sworn on the lives of the entire clan, even if Zhou Yang still has doubts in his heart, it is hard to force him anymore.
Although Zhou Yang is not a good person, he is not the kind of treacherous and evil person, and he is not willing to use any means to achieve his goals. He has always had his own bottom line principles.
He suppressed the pressure of the spiritual consciousness he released, looked at Guo Xianlong with a cold face and said coldly: "Let me believe you this time, if one day Zhou knows that you deceived me, even if your Guo family has a Nascent Soul,
Monk, I will also let you know the price of deceiving me!"
When Guo Xianlong heard this, he thought of the rumor that he easily defeated Li Shuhua, a Yuanying monk from the Taiyi Immortal Sword Sect, at the Nascent Soul Ceremony, and suddenly felt a chill in his heart. He did not dare to doubt the authenticity of his words.
He just nodded and said: "Juniors don't dare, juniors don't dare!"
"Just don't dare!"
Zhou Yang looked at him deeply, waved his hand and said: "Okay, let's talk about the distribution of this giant spirit stone mine!"
When Guo Xianlong heard this, he immediately became energetic and looked at him expectantly, waiting for him to start.
"Zhou is not someone who likes to eat alone. Since the giant spirit stone mine was discovered by your Guo family, Zhou will not take it by force and prevent your Guo family from continuing to mine it."
"But since your Guo family has been mining for thousands of years, when the two families cooperate to mine the giant spirit stone mine in the future, the Zhou family will share 60% of it!"
"Finally, all the top-quality spiritual stones and [spiritual marrow stones] mined must be handed over to me!"
Zhou Yang looked directly at Guo Xianlong and spoke out his distribution plan in a deep voice.
It can be clearly seen that when he heard Zhou Yang's first two sentences, Guo Xianlong had a hint of joy on his face.
The reserves of a giant spiritual stone mine are so huge that even if it is only divided into 40%, for the Guo family, the benefits will not be less than what they have obtained before, because the Guo family does not have the strength to completely mine the giant spiritual stone mine.
But after hearing that all the top-quality spiritual stones and [spiritual marrow stones] mined would be handed over to Zhou Yang, Guo Xianlong couldn't be happy anymore.
The greatest value of the giant spiritual stone mine is of course the top-grade spiritual stone and the accompanying [spiritual marrow stone]. Now that Zhou Yang wants to take away all these two treasures as soon as he opens his mouth, how can Guo Xianlong be willing to do it?
He immediately ignored his fear of Zhou Yang and hurriedly argued: "Senior, you want to take the big prize. Neither junior nor the Guo family has anything to say, but the top-quality spiritual stones and [spiritual marrow stones] all belong to you, senior, isn't it too...
…”
Although he didn't dare to finish what he said next, his meaning was already expressed.
"Hmph, do you think this distribution method is too excessive?"
Zhou Yang snorted coldly and did not look at Guo Xianlong's ugly face. He said to himself: "But you have to know that top-quality spiritual stones are not something that a small family like your Guo family can possess. If you have this kind of
If the news about the treasure leaks out, I can guess what I got, how can others not guess it?"
After saying that, he glanced at Guo Xianlong, who looked extremely ugly, and continued: "If you want the best spiritual stone, you can come to me after your Guo family has a Nascent Soul cultivator. Then I will naturally give you a piece of spiritual stone."
The best spiritual stones are used to cultivate sixth-level spiritual veins!"
Guo Xianlong was naturally unwilling to accept Zhou Yang's allocation method, but he looked at Zhou Yang's non-negotiable look, but he didn't know how to argue.
To be fair, in the face of such benefits as the giant spirit stone mine, Zhou Yang, a dignified Yuanying monk, could still give them 40% of the profit share of the Guo family, which is definitely very conscientious.
But his request to take away all the top-quality spiritual stones and [spiritual marrow stones] seemed too overbearing.
After all, the Guo family were the discoverers of the giant spirit stone mine.
Zhou Yang saw Guo Xianlong's expression in his eyes. When he saw the other party's face was full of unwillingness but did not dare to argue, he smiled coldly in his heart, waved his hand and said with an air of indignity: "That's it.
If you want to negotiate terms with me, wait until your Guo family has a Nascent Soul cultivator!"
Only Yuanying monks can talk to Yuanying monks on an equal footing. There is never any fair reason in the world of immortality. The big fist is the reason.
Zhou Yang and Guo Xianlong both know this, and Zhou Yang is just really practicing this principle this time.
Therefore, when he saw that Guo Xianlong was restrained by him and did not refute, he directly looked at him and ordered: "Now, you personally take me to the giant spiritual stone mine!"
