This Geng Metal mineral vein is really not an ordinary spiritual mine; it is something that the Carefree Sect would surely go all out to fight for.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fellow Daoist Song, you have been to the mineral vein, can you tell how much reserve this spiritual mine has?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fellow Daoist, you also know that I am not a spirit prospector. Moreover, the Wang family has only mined a little bit of this spiritual mine, so it is indeed impossible to tell.\" Spirit prospectors who can prospect spiritual veins based on the trend of the earth's veins in a short time are very rare. Neither the Song family nor the Wang family has anyone who has learned this skill, so naturally, it is impossible to know the reserves of the mineral vein now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yuanfeng nodded and continued: \"Since that's the case, let me see if I can invite a spirit prospector from the sect first, and then we can go and take a look together.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yuanfeng directly sent a letter to Guyang Mountain to inform the sect. After all, it involved a Geng Metal spiritual mine, and no one dared to be careless. It was best to find a spirit prospector to take a look first to see how the Carefree Sect should handle this matter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon receiving the news that a Geng Metal mineral vein had been discovered in Qinghe County, the Carefree Sect attached great importance to it and soon sent three spirit prospectors to Qinghe Marketplace, who then followed Song Qingming and the others to Fengtou Mountain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As these spirit prospectors went deep into the spiritual mine and continuously prospected the trend of the mineral vein, it took more than ten days before they finally had a rough result.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To everyone's surprise, the reserves of this Geng Metal spiritual mine at Fengtou Mountain were even greater than everyone had imagined. According to preliminary estimates, the reserves of this spiritual mine could support about two thousand strong mortals mining at the same time, and about thirty spirit stones' worth of Geng Metal ore could be mined every day, with a total that could be mined for about two or three hundred years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After this accurate news was sent back to the Carefree Sect, the Carefree Sect soon appointed a Golden Core Elder to come and handle the matter with full authority.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Chen Xuanxin, who was dressed in white and looked like an immortal, descending on clouds to Fengtou Mountain, Song Qingming was truly quite surprised. He did not expect that the one who came would be the Golden Core cultivator he was most familiar with in the Carefree Sect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just a year ago, when Song Qingming sent Song Xinyu to the Carefree Sect, he witnessed the heaven and earth phenomena on Guyang Mountain with his own eyes. Later, after returning to Qinghe County, Song Qingming heard some news from the Carefree Sect and learned that the person who formed the core that time was Chen Xuanxin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back then, Chen Xuanxin had fought side by side with him to eliminate demons, and he, who had killed Yang Wuqi alone, had also been in the limelight. However, only a few years had passed, and it felt like a lifetime ago. His status and that of the other people who traveled with him were now worlds apart, and he had become a high and mighty Golden Core True Person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Greetings, Senior Uncle Chen, Senior Chen!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No matter how Song Qingming addressed Chen Xuanxin in the past, now that the other party had successfully formed a Golden Core, Song Qingming certainly had to address him as Senior. This is also the convention of this immortal cultivation world: the capable come first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Xuanxin nodded naturally at everyone's respectful address and slightly greeted the several Foundation Establishment cultivators he had met before, including Song Qingming. Then he led everyone directly into the mineral vein to take a careful look before beginning to explain the purpose of his visit this time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having discovered such a large windfall as a Geng Metal spiritual mine, the Carefree Sect naturally wanted to swallow this benefit alone. However, since this mineral vein was actively offered by the immortal cultivation family below, according to convention, the Carefree Sect could not give no reward at all. They still had to give a little sweetness for others to see, which could show their rewards for those with merit, so that more cultivators would come to the sect to offer treasures in the future.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Through Chen Xuanxin's statement, the Carefree Sect would occupy ninety percent of the shares of this mineral vein in the future, and the Song family and the Wang family would share the remaining ten percent together. Of course, they could only share spirit stones; all the Geng Metal ore had to be transported back to the Carefree Sect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To better develop this spiritual vein, it was also necessary to upgrade the spiritual vein on the side of the spiritual mine to Tier 2, so as to build a Tier 2 grand array to guard this place, and then invest more mortals to mine the spiritual mine with all their might.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All parties involved had to bear some of these necessary investments. The Carefree Sect was responsible for the major part of the spiritual vein upgrade, while the Song family and the Wang family had to find ways to provide enough mortal miners in the future to help mine the spiritual mine. As for the later transportation and processing of the ore, this point was naturally the responsibility of the Carefree Sect's people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was also the guardian of the mineral vein. The main guardians of the spiritual mine still had to be led by the Carefree Sect. They would arrange two Foundation Establishment cultivators here, and for the remaining Qi Refining cultivators, all three parties had to send a portion of cultivators to guard the spiritual mine here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Qingming actually had no opinion on this point of benefit distribution. He was actually quite satisfied that the Song family could get a little bit this time. After all, they only actively reported the matter and picked up an income of several hundred spirit stones a year for nothing, which could be considered a very good deal for the Song family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the Wang family, it was also a pie falling from the sky. An income of five hundred spirit stones fixed every year was much more than what they could get from mining other mineral veins. If they were really given ten or twenty years of stable and peaceful time to develop, it was very likely that the Wang family would cultivate a Foundation Establishment cultivator to change the destiny of the entire family. But in the end, who let them be so lucky to find such a large Geng Metal spiritual mine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Lu Yuanfeng, who helped deliver the letter, received a reward of several hundred spirit stones, which shows that the Carefree Sect was indeed rarely generous this time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After allocating the benefits of all parties, Chen Xuanxin soon left and returned to the Carefree Sect, and Fengtou Mountain was handed over to the two Foundation Establishment cultivators he brought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that Chen Xuanxin did not mention the matter of the Wang family mining the spiritual mine in violation of regulations without knowing it, everyone at the scene breathed a sigh of relief. Otherwise, if this matter were to be pursued, the Song and Wang families would certainly be severely reprimanded, and whether they could still share this ten percent of the shares would be hard to say.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It would naturally take some time to upgrade the spiritual vein at the Fengtou Mountain spiritual mine to Tier 2. After agreeing on this matter, Song Qingming and Song Changfeng also returned to Mount Funiu together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since it had been agreed upon, after the Carefree Sect made arrangements at Fengtou Mountain, the Song family would first send some cultivators to station there. As for the mortals, long-distance migration was inconvenient, so in the early stage, it would mainly be left to the Wang family's people. After the spiritual mine stabilized in the later stage, the Song family would consider migrating some mortals over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Half a year later, as the spiritual vein on the side of Fengtou Mountain was upgraded, the Geng Metal mineral vein also began to enter stable mining. Song Qingming arranged for Shi Chun, who originally managed the Treasure Pavilion, to go to Fengtou Mountain to help the family manage the affairs there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shi Chun had been wandering in the Guiyun Marketplace for many years, and in terms of dealing with people, he was already skilled to perfection. There were not many people in the Song family who could compare to him in this regard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now the family's finances had slowly recovered, and there were spirit stones entering and leaving the Treasure Pavilion, no longer just a ledger as in the past. The Song family also attached more importance to the Treasure Pavilion than before. Although Shi Chun was deeply trusted by Song Qingming, he was, after all, a guest elder who joined the Song family halfway. In the past two years, Sixth Uncle Song Changfeng and several other older elders had started to have some criticisms about him managing the Treasure Pavilion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Qingming also took this opportunity to simply arrange for Shi Chun to go to Fengtou Mountain to station there. Having a Tier 2 spiritual vein there was enough to satisfy his cultivation. Jointly developing the spiritual mine with the Carefree Sect and the Wang family was also a very important matter for the Song family. Handing it over to Shi Chun, an old hand, to watch, Song Qingming could also feel a little more at ease.\u003C\u002Fp>",1669,"2026-06-14T03:09:35.509Z","2026-06-18T03:34:23.509Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","87a9dbaaae5ac322c5c5d67ca03a09266ce105d29a681bd641fff575b8b91d7d","the-song-clan-of-qinghe-chapter-243","the-song-clan-of-qinghe-chapter-241",846,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-qinghe-song-clan-cover.jpg"]
