Three days later, his twelfth uncle Wang Shouye came to his cave.
Wang Daoyuan opened the door of the cave, welcomed Uncle Twelve in, and asked: "Uncle Twelve came here in a hurry, is there something urgent to do with me?"
Wang Shouye didn't see anyone else. He picked up a jar of wine from Wang Daoyuan's cave and drank it, saying: "I came to you this time for two things. One is that we have finished discussing the matters in the secret cave and Green Liuzhou.
The patriarch asked me to call you over. There are some things that require your participation.
The second thing is about the dumplings. That girl Daoshu came to me and asked me to grow a few acres of spiritual wheat to make dumplings.
Let me ask you, is it more cost-effective to grow spiritual wheat compared with growing spiritual grain?"
“I’ll be over to the clan leader in a moment.” Wang Daoyuan replied, “As for Lingmai, the yield per mu is higher than that of Linggu, but it’s just more troublesome to plant than Linggu.
But Lingmai can be ground into powder and made into a variety of delicacies. Once the market is opened, it should be more cost-effective than growing Linggu."
"Since it's a good deal, I'm relieved. After harvesting the spiritual valley this season, a few acres of spiritual land will be freed up to grow spiritual wheat." Wang Shouye said with satisfaction, "Daoyuan, if you have nothing else to do, let's go see you right away.
Chief, he is still waiting.
Also, don’t spread the recipe of dumplings casually, because the family is still using this to earn spiritual stones.”
Wang Daoyuan had nothing else to do, so he followed Wang Shouye to the meeting hall.
When Wang Zhi'an saw the two people arriving, he went straight to the point: "Shouye, it's a long way to go, you two will follow me to the cave at the foot of Jingtie Mountain, and stop by to discuss with the people in Green Liuzhou."
The two of them said yes together.
The three of them did not take the water route, but disguised themselves and took the land route, heading straight to Jingtie Mountain in the southeast.
After the decline of the Wang family, a large piece of the traditional territory north of Qingxi and east of the Qingli River was occupied by the Liang family, which was still a prime location close to Qinglifang City.
The two golden waterways, Qingli River and Qingxi, are both controlled by the Liang family.
The three of them were going to visit the family's secret cave. If they took the water route, they would inevitably be discovered by the Liang family.
But this time the clan leader went there in person, it couldn't be for a trivial matter.
If the Liang family discovers it, they will definitely send foundation-building monks to follow and monitor it. Then the secret cave of the Wang family will no longer be a secret.
Not to mention the business discussions with the monks from Green Liuzhou. If the Liang family knew about it and reported it to the Netherworld Sect, the Wang family would be in trouble.
The three of them pretended to be casual cultivators, sometimes separated and sometimes gathered together. They also relied on streams and used water escape to hide their traces many times.
Finally, the three of them met in a small lake more than 200 miles north of Jingtieshan Mountain.
Wang Shouye asked: "It's a long way to go, what's the next step?"
Wang Daoyuan replied: "The upstream of the underground river next to the cave should be in this area. Use the earth escape technique to escape underground, find the underground river, and follow the underground river."
The three of them searched the nearby underground. Perhaps because the three of them practiced water-based exercises and were sensitive to water aura, they quickly found the location of the underground river.
Entering the underground river, which is tens of feet deep underground, it is difficult for even the Jindan monks to detect it. Naturally, the three of them no longer need to restrain their breath and move forward at full speed in the underground river.
Wang Daoyuan's cultivation was far inferior to the two of them, so he had to use the magic talisman and follow closely behind.
Within a quarter of an hour, the three of them arrived at the gate of the underground cave.
Wang Zhian pointed to the stone wall and asked: "Daoyuan, is this the gate of the cave?"
Wang Daoyuan nodded and said: "It's right here. You need to use the bead that controls the formation to open it."
"This person is indeed a wizard of formations. He can actually hide a cave with a second-level low-grade spiritual spring without leaking a breath.
If Dao Yuan had not led the way, I would never have been able to find the cave." Wang Zhian said with emotion.
Wang Daoyuan took out the spirit bead that controlled the formation and used his spiritual power to stimulate it. A hole appeared out of thin air on the stone wall. The three of them entered the cave through the hole. Wang Zhi'an and Wang Shouye walked directly to the spiritual spring.
Wang Zhi'an closed his eyes and felt it, and said: "It is indeed a second-order low-grade spiritual spring. Moreover, this spiritual spring was formed not long ago, within a thousand years, and there is still a lot of room for growth.
This spiritual spring alone is enough to become the foundation of a foundation-building family."
After that, he went to look at the spiritual field, the water pool and the jade butterfly orchid beside the water. He scanned the entire cave and said: "Dao Yuan's words are indeed true. This cave is enough to accommodate a monk in the early stage of foundation building."
, and more than thirty Qi-training monks."
At this time, Wang Daoyuan took out two jade slips and said: "These are the exercises practiced by that evil cultivator and his experience in studying the formation. This formation experience can be said to be inherited by a second-level high-grade formation mage.
That evil cultivator also has an enemy who is at the peak of Foundation Establishment, and that enemy's strength is comparable to that of an average early-stage Zifu cultivator.
If it leaks out, our Wang family may be in catastrophe.
Therefore, I did not dare to hand over these two jade slips to the Sutra Collection Building. The information would not be leaked here, so I dared to take them out."
Wang Daoyuan had already burned a copy of the jade slip that recorded the formation's experience. As for the Golden Evil Jue, he didn't burn it because it was useless.
Wang Zhi'an took the jade slip, scanned it with his spiritual consciousness, and said: "Daoyuan is really attentive and considers everything so thoughtfully. In this way, I feel relieved.
Since you discovered this cave, and the magic weapon that controls the formation has been identified as its owner, I will leave this cave to you to take care of, and all the elders agree.
According to the family regulations, if a clan member discovers mineral veins, spiritual veins, etc. outside the family territory, 30% of it belongs to the discoverer, and outside the family territory, 50% belongs to the discoverer.
This cave is within the family's territory. From now on, 30% of the harvest from the cave will belong to you.
In addition, only the clan leader can know the specific location of this cave, and no one else is allowed to know."
After hearing the clan leader's arrangement, Wang Daoyuan quickly declined: "Clan leader, this cave is used as a backup refuge for the family. The situation will be unfavorable in the future. This cave is where the clan members settle down and live. It is not an ordinary mineral vein. It is comparable to spiritual veins. How can I be here?
Get your share.”
Wang Zhian smiled and said: "You are dedicated to the family, and all the elders know it. However, the family is not just one or two people. If you have some good things, you can use them the same as I can."
There are dozens of monks in the family and more than 100,000 ordinary people. If there are no rules to manage so many people, chaos will inevitably occur.
Since there are rules, everyone should abide by them. If you don't want to share it, it is for the good of the family, but it is also breaking the family rules.
Today, if you don’t take the share, tomorrow someone in the clan may discover the mineral veins or spiritual veins, and feel that it is unprofitable to offer them to the family, so they conceal them for their own benefit, or even betray the information to outsiders. Then it will still be the family that suffers the loss.
You are worried that the situation will change in the future, and the family will need to rely on this cave to continue, but you don't know when. If that happens, let's talk about changing the share."
The clan leader's words were well founded and Wang Daoyuan could not refute them.
He doesn't want the income from this cave, mainly because he really doesn't like this thing, and there is no need to compete with the family.
However, since the family has rules, try to help the family within the family rules.
