Chapter 18 Information)
The Qingyun Mountain Range is located in the eastern part of Qingyun County, stretching for hundreds of miles, with hundreds of peaks of different sizes. Qinglian Mountain is one of the few spiritual mountains in the Qingyun Mountains and is named after its shape resembling a green lotus.
Although Qinglian Mountain is not steep and majestic, it is like spring all year round and the mountain is full of exotic flowers and plants.
The residence of the Wang family is in Qinglian Mountain. From the middle of the mountain to the top, there are large pavilions and hundreds of Wang family members living there.
There is a mansion on the top of the mountain that occupies a very large area, in a quiet courtyard.
There is a pool of more than ten feet in the courtyard, with several green lotus plants planted there.
A winding gravel path leads directly to a two-story blue attic.
Inside the room, a middle-aged man wearing a long green cloth gown and a square face was leaning on the desk, flipping through a book.
The middle-aged man is Wang Mingyuan, the current head of the Wang family.
Wang Mingyuan is ninety-nine years old this year. He has the fourth spiritual root, but he is fair in dealing with things. He was elected as the head of the family by most of the clan elders and is responsible for taking care of the family's affairs.
There are currently one hundred and forty-four immortal cultivators in the Wang family, and a clan elder has just passed away.
It is not easy to manage the affairs of a family. Wang Mingyuan has to take care of all aspects. For this reason, he has delayed his cultivation. He is only at the fifth level of Qi Refining. However, his qualifications are not good. No matter how hard he practices, the chance of advancing to the foundation building stage is low.
Very low.
"Hey, did you lose money again this month?" Wang Mingyuan put down the book in his hand, frowned, rubbed his eyes, and looked slightly tired.
"Dong dong dong!"
There was a knock on the door, and a woman's voice sounded: "Husband, I made some food, is it convenient for you now?"
Wang Mingyuan relaxed his frown and said, "Qing'er, you are not an outsider, just come in."
"Aren't I afraid of affecting your work? You, the Wang family, take care of everything, how can I, a woman, dare to disturb you?"
A beautiful middle-aged woman in a green skirt walked in, holding a tray in both hands. There was a plate of green pastries and a bowl of white porridge on the tray.
The beautiful middle-aged woman is Liu Qing'er, Wang Changsheng's mother.
Liu Qing'er put down the tray and placed the pastries and porridge in front of Wang Mingyuan.
"Qinglian cake, lotus seed porridge, Qing'er, you haven't cooked them for me since I gave birth to my son and went to Ping'an County to serve as a heavenly master."
Wang Mingyuan smiled slightly, picked up a piece of cake and put it in his mouth.
Liu Qing'er came behind Wang Mingyuan, put her beautiful hands on Wang Mingyuan's shoulders, and rubbed his shoulders.
"Do you still remember giving birth to a son? I thought you had forgotten about having a son because of your busy schedule." Liu Qing'er said angrily.
Wang Mingyuan smiled bitterly and said: "How could it be! I only gave birth to this son, how could I forget him? In another year, when the term is up, I will transfer him back. That's fine!"
"Do you think I'm here to tell you about this? The fourth brother and sister told me that zombies appeared in Ping'an County. If the fourth brother and sister hadn't told me, how long would you have wanted to hide it from me?"
"I have sent Uncle Wu, Chang Ge and Chang Yu to Ping'an County for reinforcements. The baby will not be in danger, so don't worry!" Wang Mingyuan patted Liu Qing'er's jade hand on his shoulder and comforted him.
Liu Qing'er raised her dark eyebrows and was about to say something when a hurried shout came from outside: "Third uncle, third uncle."
When Liu Qing'er heard the words, she swallowed them back.
Wang Mingyuan hurriedly picked up the porcelain bowl and drank the white porridge in the bowl as quickly as possible.
As soon as he put down the porcelain bowl, Wang Changge and Wang Changyu hurried in.
Liu Qing'er's expression tightened when she saw the two of them, and she asked worriedly: "Changge, Changyu, didn't you go to Ping'an County? Why are you back so soon? Could it be that something happened to the baby?"
Wang Mingyuan didn't speak, but there was a bit of worry in his eyes.
"No, Ninth Brother is safe and sound. We came back under the orders of the Fifth Uncle. We have something important to report."
Wang Changge deliberately emphasized the tone of "important matters".
"Chang Ge, what important matters can't be said in front of me? I have been married to the Wang family for more than 20 years, am I an outsider?" Liu Qing'er was a little unhappy.
Wang Changge smiled coquettishly and explained: "That's not what I meant, Third Aunt, these are the exact words of my fifth uncle. My seventh sister and I also acted under orders. Please forgive me, Third Aunt."
Wang Changyu rolled his eyes, walked forward quickly, and said sweetly: "Third Aunt, I have met Ninth Brother. Let me tell you about Ninth Brother's situation!"
Liu Qing'er's expression softened and she and Wang Changyu walked out.
"What big thing happened? Can't you tell me in front of your third aunt?" Wang Mingyuan said with a frown.
Wang Changge's face condensed, and he walked forward quickly and whispered: "Third uncle, a black gold vein was discovered in Qingshi Town, Ping'an County. Well, it was discovered by the ninth brother. Fifth uncle asked you to send more manpower to Qingshi Town.
Mining black gold.”
"What? Xuanjin? Seriously?" Wang Mingyuan exclaimed, breathing a little heavy.
"It's absolutely true, I brought back a piece of black gold ore."
Wang Changge took out the ore from the storage bag and handed it over.
"I don't know anything about weapon refining materials. Changge, go and invite your third aunt back. Although your third aunt is only a weapon refining apprentice, she is familiar with and recognizes many kinds of weapon refining materials. Let her confirm it."
Wang Mingyuan actually knew that what he was holding was black gold ore, but he just wanted to find an excuse to calm Liu Qing'er's dissatisfaction.
What Wang Changge just said made everyone feel uncomfortable.
After Liu Qing'er married into the Wang family, she rarely left Qinglian Mountain. She and a group of female tribesmen surnamed Wang raised silkworms, weaved clothes and farmed the fields to supplement the family income. They worked hard and worked hard without complaining. Wang Mingyuan did not want to be hurt because of a few careless words from his nephew.
He won his wife's heart.
Wang Changge took the order and left, and soon invited Liu Qing'er back.
"Why did you ask me to come back? Be careful that I reveal the secrets of your Wang family." Liu Qing'er said with some dissatisfaction.
Wang Mingyuan said solemnly: "Okay, the two juniors are here! Pay attention to the impact. A black gold vein was discovered in Qingshi Town, Ping'an County. It was discovered by Sheng'er. Qing'er, you used to work at Shenbing Pavilion.
Ten years have passed and I have learned a lot. Let’s see if this is Xuanjin. If it is Xuanjin, the birth of a child will be a great achievement.”
Hearing that his son had discovered a black gold vein, Liu Qing'er ignored her anger and took the ore and examined it carefully.
She moved her lips a few times, and with a muffled sound, a red flame appeared out of thin air in the palm of her hand, and a large red flame enveloped the ore.
Time passed little by little, and the ore showed no sign of melting.
Liu Qing'er took out a green dagger, injected mana into it, and struck it towards the ore.
"Keng!"
There was a muffled sound of gold and iron colliding, and a shallow white mark appeared on the surface of the ore.
"Yes, it's black gold ore. I don't know how big it is, but even a small black gold mine is enough for us to tide over the difficulties." Liu Qing'er looked a little excited.
"Great, with the blessings of our ancestors, our Wang family is saved. Changge, besides you, how many people know about this?" Wang Mingyuan asked solemnly.
Wang Changge thought for a while and said truthfully: "There are also fifth uncle and ninth brother. By the way, some tribesmen without spiritual roots know something. They were the first to mine black gold ore. The black gold ore is located in a quarry.
But they didn't know it was Xuanjin. When Seventh Sister and I came back, Fifth Uncle was watching in person at the quarry, while Ninth Brother gathered the clan members who knew about it and strictly prohibited them from contacting outsiders."
"Okay, you are not allowed to reveal a word about this matter to the outside world. I will immediately summon the fourth brother and the others to a meeting and send people to Qingshi Town as soon as possible."
"Yes, third uncle."
Wang Changge winked at Wang Changyu. Wang Changyu understood and left with Wang Changge, leaving Wang Mingyuan and Liu Qing'er behind.
"I knew that my son was capable. He discovered a black gold vein and made such a big contribution, so I can bring him back!" Liu Qing'er said with a look full of expectation.
"The state has national laws, and the family has family rules. If a child makes great contributions, he will be rewarded generously. It is not too late to transfer him back when his term is over. Anyway, there is only one year left. It will be easy to transfer him back in advance. I will do it in the future.
It's not easy to handle family affairs." Wang Mingyuan said with some embarrassment.
Liu Qing'er glared at Wang Mingyuan and said angrily: "Okay, okay, every time I ask you to bring back your son, you always have this reason. You are afraid that it will be true. In your heart, you only have the Wang family, not us.
My little family, you can sleep in the study room this month! Anyway, you can still live the same life without us two."
After saying that, Liu Qing'er left angrily.
Wang Mingyuan saw this situation and smiled bitterly, his mouth full of bitterness.
He doesn't want to bring his son back, but as the head of the family, he must first convince the people of the clan before he can manage things well. For this reason, he has strict requirements on himself, his wife and children.
