Soon, the messenger entered the main hall and explained the whole story in a few words.
Gold mining once again caused conflict with the Wu family.
"It's the Wu family again!"
The third elder snorted.
Outside Guyang City, at the southern end of the Cliff Mountains, there is a mineral vein.
The four major families, the Wu family, the Cang family, the Han family, and the Zhuge family, almost monopolize the mining there.
After all, gold and silver are the fifth continental hard currency.
What's more, there are also various other minerals and gems.
Therefore, all parties are very concerned about this matter.
Over the years, unwritten rules have been formed. Each company occupies an area and mines independently without interfering with each other.
However, there is always a time when the mine becomes empty.
Therefore, several companies often go elsewhere to explore new mineral veins.
While exploring, something unexpected happened.
People from two or even three families found a vein of minerals at the same time.
Each family said they found it first, and conflicts arose.
No one will take the initiative to give up on this kind of thing, so there is only one way.
beat!
If you win, it's yours.
The fifth continent is a world of body refining. There are many problems, and martial arts is a good way to solve them.
I don’t know when it started, but an agreement was reached between several companies. The younger generation will compete, and the winner will own the mine.
Nowadays, several major families have inherited it for nearly ten thousand years, and fundamentally they don't really care about one or two mineral veins.
What they care about is more about face issues.
The younger generation represents the future of the family, and competition among them is a means of competition and motivation in itself.
Looking back, the last dispute over the mineral veins was ten years ago.
Now, here it comes again.
"Gather the younger members of the family who have free time and go to the location of the mine immediately!"
The second elder waved his hand and gave the order.
In this kind of mineral dispute, it is enough for the two elders to come forward.
As for the great elder and the head of the family, there is no need to alarm them for the time being.
"Cang Xiaotian, you go too."
Before leaving, the third elder Cang Chen waved to Cang Xiaotian.
Cang Xiaotian had no choice but to follow.
Soon, the younger generation of the Cang family gathered together.
Cang Xiaotian glanced at the crowd and saw two familiar people.
Cang Xiaolong and Cang Xiaolin.
Obviously, they also saw Cang Xiaotian.
Cang Xiaolong was a little puzzled, why did this moth come?
Not only him, but also several other Cang family disciples who knew Cang Xiaotian showed puzzled expressions when they saw that Cang Xiaotian was among the crowd.
What is he here for?
Cang Xiaotian ignored everyone's strange looks. He was wondering what the third elder's plan was for keeping him here.
He wanted to leave with an excuse, but seeing the way the third elder looked at him, Cang Xiaotian felt vaguely that that was not a good idea.
Immediately, the second elder Cang Lan and the third elder Cang Chen personally led the team, and the group walked out of the city gate and headed straight for the cliff mountain range.
At noon, we finally arrived at the mine vein.
The disciples of the Cang family had already come to meet them and led everyone to join the fourth elder Cang Liang and others.
A towering mountain peak was cut off at the middle, with a smooth and flat cross-section, forming a natural arena.
Under the arena, four huge stones are arranged in the east, west, north and south, and each of the four major families occupies one of them.
At this moment, on the Cang family side, the second elder, third elder and fourth elder had a brief exchange and each sat cross-legged.
The other Cang family members sat in silence, and no one said a word.
Cang Xiaotian secretly looked in several other directions. In addition to everyone from the Wu family who had already arrived, there were actually people in the other two places.
Moreover, Cang Xiaotian also saw an acquaintance.
On the Zhuge family side, Elder Zhuge Zifeng and Zhuge Yu, who had just been guests at the Cang family, were among them.
But in another place, Cang Xiaotian didn't know anyone.
It seems that the news from the mine has been received by several major families.
"Hahaha... Elder Canglan, you are well!"
Along with a burst of laughter, a figure jumped three times and jumped onto the natural arena.
The second elder, Cang Lan, and everyone present couldn't help but look up at the arena.
The second elder of the Wu family, Wu Qiran.
"Elder Wu, long time no see!"
After the words fell, the second elder Cang Lan, not to be outdone, also jumped onto the stage.
Wu Qiran squinted his eyes and looked at Elder Cang Lan: "Elder Cang Lan, you have made some progress in these years!"
Wu Qiran occupies the position of the second elder in the Wu family, and his cultivation level is equivalent to that of Elder Cang Lan, but they are both stuck at the Great Martial Master level.
Both of them are over one hundred and fifty years old, less than fifty years before their death.
If you can't break through before the deadline, it will be like a handful of loess and disappear into thin air.
This is the way of martial arts.
Every breakthrough is not easy.
If you break through from a warrior to a martial artist, it is a step from an ordinary warrior to an extraordinary warrior. It is a breakthrough in a big realm, and it is even more difficult.
And further up, from an extraordinary warrior to the legendary realm, it is an even more transformation.
There are too many body refiners who are stuck here, unable to break through for the rest of their lives. In the end, they can only pass away sadly when the end comes.
Among the known strong men, the heads of the four major families are at the last stage of extraordinary warriors - innate martial masters.
The maximum lifespan of an innate martial artist is three hundred years, but once they enter the legendary realm, their lifespan increases to eight hundred years.
No one wants to live, and almost everyone dreams of immortality.
Pursuing martial arts is a good way to extend your life.
Just like Elder Wu Qiran and Cang Lan, they are certainly not willing to accept the end of their lives.
If they can break through and become an innate martial artist, their natural lifespan can be extended by at least a hundred years.
Who doesn't desire it?
“Each other!”
Elder Canglan glanced at Wu Qiran and said nothing more.
Wu Qiran chuckled: "Another mine dispute, this time, what should I say?"
Hearing this, Elder Cang Lan looked around and smiled faintly: "The dispute over the mineral veins can be regarded as a grand event for our four families in Guyang City. Just follow the old rules."
"good!"
Wu Qiran took over and said, "Old rules, win two out of three games."
He turned to look at where the Cang family was, and smiled meaningfully: "I heard that the Cang family recently gave birth to a very powerful girl, who became a martial artist at a young age."
Hearing what he said, the Cang family instantly understood that the girl Wu Qiran was talking about was Cang Xiaolin.
Cang Xiaotian couldn't help but look at that petite figure.
"Hahaha... It's really rare for a girl to achieve such results! Coincidentally, my Wu family also has a little girl who just made a breakthrough a few days ago.
Why not take this opportunity to exchange a few words?"
It is rare for girls to practice physical training, and even fewer can achieve success.
After all, few girls want to be muscular, with big shoulders and a round waist.
More often than not, they will choose to practice sword skills.
You can learn some self-defense skills without damaging your body shape or affecting your beauty.
After hearing what Wu Qiran said, Elder Canglan felt surprised, but he still nodded in agreement.
Immediately, Cang Xiaolin and the Wu girl stood up and walked towards the ring.
At this time, a familiar voice in the distance reached Cang Xiaotian's ears, which cheered him up.
"Oops! Brother, hurry up and leave. We won't see them fighting for a while!"
