Passing through the cloister and a courtyard, you arrive at the banquet hall.
The courtyard has an excellent environment, with lush trees and brilliant flowers. A stream of clear water pours from the depths of the flowers and trees under the rocks and converges into a spiritual lake.
There is a large hidden spirit gathering array engraved in the courtyard, and the surrounding spiritual energy gathers and envelopes the entire Chang family. It is obvious that this courtyard is the center of the Chang family.
The layout of the small courtyard is actually quite ordinary, but there are a few precious colorful brocades raised in the Linghu Lake.
This is not a precious spiritual fish that ordinary forces can get their hands on.
Lin Xi was keenly aware of this.
But he didn't ask.
This doesn't mean anything. Although I cherish it, maybe the Chang family got it by accident due to good luck.
Come to the banquet room.
Now that the distinguished guests have arrived, the banquet will naturally begin.
Spiritual wine and delicious food were presented one after another.
As they drank and drank, the atmosphere slowly became harmonious.
Lin Xi was not a fool and did not refuse the Chang family's toast.
After all, this is the Chang family's territory. Lin Xi is here to explore the spirit mine, and she doesn't mean to cause trouble. She still has to give her the face she deserves.
It's not a smart thing to annoy local snakes.
Lin Xi took another sip of wine and put down the glass: "Second Master Chang, it's time for us to talk about the spirit mine."
"Of course." Chang Daoting said with a smile: "I wonder what the envoy wants to know?"
"Why is the output of the spirit mine getting less and less?"
"We have already reported this matter to the previous envoys."
"Then I don't know." Lin Xi said directly: "Anyway, if the sect asked me to investigate again, the situation will always change, right?"
"Okay, that's it..."
Chang Daoting began to explain.
Since the chaos half a year ago.
The Ling Mine was paralyzed.
Because they were anxious to resolve the spiritual mine issue, the seven major families had some conflicts with several large local chambers of commerce. Even after the chaos ended, these conflicts could not be resolved.
So I just kept putting it off.
When it comes to mining spiritual minerals, with the strength of the seven major families, there is certainly no problem in mining part of it.
But if you want to ensure a large amount of output, you must rely on the power of those large chambers of commerce.
"Is that so? Are there any conflicts with those businessmen?" Lin Xi asked.
Chang Daoting said: "It's not just because of conflicts, it's just because of the chaos that too many people fled the Shitang Dynasty, resulting in a shortage of manpower..."
Mining requires too many manpower.
And after the chaos, there are too many places that need manpower.
In addition, if there are indeed conflicts, the big chamber of commerce is not willing to give priority to the seven major families.
"I see." Lin Xi said, "I happen to have some friendships with several large chambers of commerce in Xiyang County. Let me go and help you negotiate."
Chang Daoting was shocked.
He probably didn't expect that a disciple of the Qingyun Sect would actually have friendship with the merchant from Xiyang County.
Could it be that this person was also from Sunset County?
Perhaps this is the reason why this disciple of the Qingyun Sect came.
"Why, Second Master Chang doesn't want to?" Lin Xi asked.
Chang Daoting hurriedly shook his head: "How is this possible? It's simply something you can't ask for."
"That's it." Lin Xi said, "Without further delay, I'll leave right now."
"It's getting late, why not..."
"No rest, it's important to seize the time."
With that said, Lin Xi was ready to leave.
At this moment, noisy sounds came from outside the hall.
"Third Young Master, Second Master is entertaining distinguished guests. You can't come in."
"What a distinguished guest, isn't he from the Qingyun Sect?"
"Third Young Master! You must not be disrespectful."
"Go away, what's the disrespect? Even if you beat a dog, it depends on the owner. Who in the entire Chang family doesn't know that Wang An is mine. He provoked me first. Do I still have to endure it? Get out of here. Who dares to stop me?"
You blame me for being angry, I am not in a good mood."
After a commotion, a young man broke into the banquet room.
This man was dressed in rich clothes, with a spiritual jade hanging from his waist. He occasionally had a spiritual light flowing around his body, but his eyes were full of irritability and arrogance.
The third son of the Chang family always wins.
Judging from its aura, it is probably at the late stage of foundation building.
Chang Sheng glanced across the banquet hall, and then looked at Lin Xi coldly: "You are that person from the Qingyun Sect."
Lin Xi's expression remained unchanged: "Any advice?"
"Wang An had his legs broken because of you?" Chang Sheng asked.
Wang An is probably the house slave.
"Yes."
"You have to identify the owner when beating a dog. Wang An is my dog. You caused his legs to be broken, so I will break your legs too. There should be no problem." Chang Sheng said coldly.
Chang Daoting's face changed greatly: "What nonsense are you talking about? This is the Qingyun Sect's envoy, please apologize to me."
But Chang Sheng ignored it.
Lin Xi was not angry, only found it funny: "You want to break my legs? Do you think you have the ability?"
"Whether I have it or not, you will know later." Chang Sheng suddenly stood up and pulled out a blood-patterned black knife filled with evil energy. The black knife had a unique shape and was very scary. It was a murderous knife.
This is a magic weapon.
And he must have killed many people.
Chang Sheng raised his black sword and slashed hard at him. The overbearing sword energy almost made the entire banquet room crack.
Lin Xi raised his eyebrows, and the Lihen Sword appeared instantly.
boom!
The swords clashed together.
Violent energy fluctuations occurred.
Chang Sheng suddenly took a few steps back due to the aftermath, and looked at Lin Xi uncertainly, but Lin Xi stood there, very calm, without any emotion.
He did not expect that he would be suppressed in such a head-to-head fight even though he was clearly above Lin Xi.
"Blood Knife!" Chang Sheng took action again.
The terrifying energy and blood condensed into a dark red sword energy, full of evil intent, and its power was extraordinary. Ordinary Qingyun Sect disciples of the same realm were probably no match for him.
No wonder he had the confidence to attack Lin Xi.
Lin Xi took a step slowly.
Then it turned into a streak of light and shadow and disappeared.
The sword energy slashed through the air and hit the ground, leaving a ferocious sword mark one meter deep.
"The untold secret of Xuanyun Palace is called Yunbu." Chang Daoting was shocked.
Being able to join the Xuanyun Palace, it seems that the envoy coming this time is indeed not an easy person.
With a slash in the air, Chang Sheng pursued again, but Lin Xi easily dodged them all with several consecutive slashes, which made him almost crazy with anger.
Chang Daoting shouted angrily: "Stop!"
Chang Sheng finally stopped.
"Second uncle, he..."
"Shut up." Chang Daoting gave Chang Sheng a slap in the face and scolded: "This is the envoy of Qingyun Sect. How dare you take action? Big brother has really spoiled you. Now, apologize immediately, otherwise
I will destroy you now."
"Second uncle, how can you turn your elbows outward?" Chang Sheng covered his face with a look of shock.
"I gave the order to interrupt Wang An. If you have any dissatisfaction with me, apologize to me now, otherwise I will report it to my elder brother and let you, a bastard, have a taste of family law!"
When it comes to family law, Chang Sheng instantly becomes intimidated.
