The output of the Huangyanshan mine is very large, with an annual income of two to three thousand. For Taicheng County, it is already the third largest industry outside Chaoyinshan and Xihefang.
Nowadays, the strength of the Zhang family has become unique in Taicheng County. They have not changed the previous interest structure. They have only a small interest in dividing the cake. In Xihefang, Chaoyinshan's income is far less than that of the Wu family, and even there is no
Falling out with Zhu Liusu and other families.
Even the shares of the Lingshi Mine left by the Zhu family were not moved by the Zhang family, but were given to the Qingxuan Sect in accordance with the agreement.
Now that a mineral vein has finally been discovered, the cake has been made bigger. Zhang Zhixuan is ready to monopolize this mine. Now the Zhang family has enough power to occupy this profit, and other nearby families dare not complain.
Although Huangyan Mountain is a barren mountain, it is very close to the Zhang family's Jiuhua Mountain. Although there is a small Qi-training period family nearby, they do not dare to compete with the Zhang family for the ownership of Huangyan Mountain.
According to the Taicheng County family's tacit understanding, this area is originally the Zhang family's sphere of influence. Even if others are jealous, there is no excuse to intervene.
In order to take care of the situation in Huangyan Mountain, Zhang Zhixuan and Qing Chan temporarily returned to Lingjing Cave, while Han Yan stayed in Black Mountain for retreat.
Nowadays, Yu State is relatively peaceful. There has been no war for more than ten years. Because it is located in a remote place, there are relatively few outside monks, and the general environment is very safe.
Moreover, Huangyan Mountain is very heavily guarded and is guarded by fourth-level puppet beasts. Ordinary casual cultivators would not dare to cause trouble.
With a safe environment outside, Huangyan Mountain quickly got on the right track, and a large number of Forbidden God Stones were mined. In order to make use of these Forbidden God Stones, Zhang Zhixuan wrote a letter and transferred Zhang Sidao to study together with Zhang Shenglian, preparing to use the family's specialties.
Refining the Forbidden God Stone into a magic weapon and then selling it for a good price.
Zhang Shenglian is in her forties and has no ancestral backer. However, she has good spiritual roots and is very talented in refining weapons, especially magic weapons such as robes and brocade banners. Even though her cultivation level is only at the ninth level of Qi training, she is very talented in refining weapons.
The weapon technique has reached the third level.
Originally, she was ready to redeem the Foundation Building Pill to build the foundation, but unfortunately she was not as smart as Zhang Zeqian in terms of personality, so someone beat her to it and redeemed the Foundation Building Pill.
Shortly thereafter, the family changed the rules for exchanging Foundation Establishment Pills. Although Zhang Shenglian had a small amount of savings, she was still far away from the six thousand meritorious deeds. Even if she had good weapon refining skills, it would still take more than ten years to accumulate them.
It has been eighty years since Sidao became a third-level weapon refining master. After he lost the opportunity to go further on the road, he focused on improving the weapon refining technique. In the past few years, he upgraded the weapon refining technique to the third-level high-grade.
Chen Hongyuan, who has already caught up with his master, is considered a well-known weapon refiner even within Qingxuan Sect.
The two used the Fire Eye in Jiuhua Mountain to formulate many refining plans, and experimentally refined seven or eight magical weapons. Unfortunately, they were still not very satisfied.
These magic weapons are somewhat deficient in design, and they also have many shortcomings after being refined. They simply cannot compete with similar products.
Even if it is barely refined, it will be difficult to open up a market. Unless Zhang Zhixuan implements trade protection in Montenegro, forced promotion will have a chance to occupy part of the market.
Just when the two were in trouble, Tong Huai from Spider Mountain helped them solve the big trouble.
It has been almost a year since we successfully caught the human-faced spider. The domestication of the two human-faced spiders has been on the right track and they have begun to spit out spider silk regularly.
However, this kind of monster has a ferocious character. Even if it is controlled by an order to restrain the beast, it does not dare to be left to the care of monks in the Qi training period. Whether it is feeding or collecting spider silk, Tong Huai has to do it himself.
In order not to delay their cultivation, and the output of Huangyan Mountain was already considerable, Zhang Zhixuan was cruel and invested another 10,000 spirit stones to cultivate a third-level low-grade spiritual vein in Spider Mountain for them to practice.
Now in Taicheng County, the Zhang family has developed five third-level spiritual veins, from Wanshe Cave to the underground river in Lingjing Mountain. There are still several spiritual veins that have not been developed, and the spiritual energy in one of them has reached third-level. These spiritual veins
Once all the veins are developed, the Zhang family will be able to support twice as many monks.
The distances in this area are not very far. Even the relatively remote Jiuhua Mountain is less than two thousand miles away from Lushan.
Although this distance is already very far for mortals, for monks in the foundation building stage, the journey is less than one day. Even for slower monks in the Qi training stage, the distance does not exceed three days. If you ride on the family's cloud-walking beast,
, the time can be shortened by half.
The silk of the human-faced spider is very tough. The spiritual yarn woven with this silk can block the slashing of low-level flying swords. Although it is not soft enough because of too many burrs, it is inconvenient to refine the robe and wear it, but it can perfectly transform the Forbidden God Stone.
It is smelted on the spiritual yarn, blocking and isolating the monk's spiritual consciousness.
After refining the forbidden yarn, the family immediately made screens, painted them with exquisite patterns, and placed them in the family's major stores for promotion.
This kind of magic weapon can weaken the spiritual consciousness of monks, especially the spiritual consciousness of monks in the foundation-building stage, which is almost restricted.
For monks who open shops in the city, there are always some secrets that they don't want others to know. Purchasing a screen like this is considered a necessary investment.
Except for the Huanshui Sect, which has a Forbidden God Stone mine, the Yu State has no resources in this area.
The Huanshui Sect used the Forbidden God Stone and smelted other materials to make a kind of exquisite ceramic tiles. These ceramic tiles are very expensive and are shipped in relatively small quantities. Their main purpose is to build caves for high-level monks.
In the past, the Qingxuan Sect had to purchase the same type of magical artifacts from the Song Dynasty, and all they took out were precious spiritual stones. Now that the Zhang family has the same type of magical artifacts, if the Qingxuan Sect wants to use them, they can use the sect's good deeds.
exchange.
Although the sect's good deeds are as precious as spiritual stones, they can be transferred to each other. Qingxuan Sect can also save working capital and invest spiritual stones in places where they are needed more.
With the support of Qingxuanzong, the Forbidden God Yarn refined by the Zhang family filled the gap in this area, and soon monopolized the financial resources in this area.
Although limited by the production of human-faced spider silk, the production of Forbidden God's Yarn is not very large, but the profit it brings to the Zhang family is actually 3,000 yuan a year.
Coupled with some of the remaining ores from Huangyan Mountain, although Huangyan Mountain and Spider Mountain have not opened up an acre of spiritual land, the annual income they can bring to the Zhang family has exceeded 4,000, which is equivalent to the second spiritual well mountain.
The two refiners, Sidao and Sheng Lian, had merit in inventing the forbidden yarn, and Zhang Zhixuan each rewarded them with three thousand meritorious deeds. The idea of refining the forbidden yarn is relatively simple and takes less time. The main credit should also be given to the materials.
above.
With these three thousand good deeds, Zhang Shenglian immediately went to Black Mountain to redeem the Foundation Establishment Pill. She is a Three Spiritual Root monk and has been practicing to the ninth level of Qi training for ten years. The process of retreat was relatively smooth and she successfully broke through to the Foundation Establishment realm.
