After returning to the village, start chasing the mountain from binding Emei

Chapter 710: The specialty of Dawa Mountain, the huge meteorite copper mine!
If he could condense his primordial spirit in the realm of creation, there would be no doubt that his cultivation would be greatly enhanced.

When facing a strong person in the Daozhen realm, I will no longer be so miserable.

The magical uses of the primordial spirit are endless.

Chen Yang chose the third option, [Yuanshen Pill] without any hesitation.

A pill sealed with wax appeared in Chen Yang's hand.

A burning light shone in Chen Yang's eyes. With this thing, what else would he need the "Three One Five Tooth Sutra" for?

He wished he could swallow the pill right now and quickly condense his primordial spirit.

But unfortunately, the system prompts that one needs to cultivate one's spiritual power to above 200th level before taking this pill will be effective.

His current spiritual cultivation level is only 124th level.

The conditions for taking the drug are not met.

I can only put this thought aside for now.

He carefully put away the [Yuanshen Pill].

It is only seventy-sixth level away from the 200th level of divine consciousness, which is not too far.

With his current speed of practice, even without the help of external forces, he should be able to achieve it in about two months just by practicing the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top of the Head.

……

With this upgrade, the number of mountains that can be bound increases by 1.

Chen Yang clicked it and took a look, hesitated for a moment, and did not use this number rashly.

Let's wait and see how things go.

At this point, the mountain that he wants to be bound to naturally needs to have a certain level of development value.

Wang Yuanchao said that after a while, the General Association might take action against the Gushen Cult. Depending on the situation at that time, Chen Yang also considered whether to go to Raojiang.

At that time, if he could bind several big mountains in Raojiang, the benefit would definitely be the greatest for him.

At present, there are already quite a few mountains in the Emei area that have been bound by him, and the potential for development is probably almost exhausted.

If you want to continue upgrading, you have to find other ways.

Raojiang, that is also a very mysterious place.

Wuliang Mountain, Ailao Mountain, these big mountains, who knows how many secrets they hide. One day, Chen Yang will definitely go and explore them.

He has always been cautious and used to preparing for a rainy day, so it's time to start making some plans for the future.

I just hunted blood mosquitoes and got 10 mind-concentrating pills.

It was still early, so Chen Yang spent some time refining all the Mind-Concentrating Pills.

Now, he urgently wants to improve his spiritual power.

When you reach the 200th level, once you take the Yuanshen Pill, you will be able to refine your Yuanshen. There is no doubt that you will usher in a new transformation by then.

-

Lingjiang County, Wangjiang Tower.

Chen Yang made an appointment here to meet Tong Xin. After not seeing each other for more than ten days, Tong Xin looked obviously much more haggard.

Looking dazed and listless.

Shi Ling's matter was obviously a big blow to him. There were some things that Chen Yang was not comfortable saying in front of Shi Ling, so he could only let Tong Xin figure it out himself.

He probably thought that he was sold out by the ancestors of the Tong family and was born to be a bargaining chip in a transaction with Shi Ling.

But little did he know that this was actually the road paved and opportunity prepared for him by the ancestors of the Tong family?
There is such a big boss living in your body. As long as you use it properly, it can be said that it will be difficult not to take off.

In the private room, the aroma of tea was rich. It was almost noon and the sun was shining brightly outside, so there was no rush to go to Erlang Mountain.

"Have you taken the mountain-guarding stele?"

After ordering lunch, Chen Yang made a cup of tea for Tong Xin.

Tong Xin nodded and said, "It has been moved out of the mountain and temporarily placed in our ancestral hall. My grandfather meant that we should wait and see the situation first. If there is no trouble in the mountain, we can discuss how to deal with the stone tablet..."

He seemed a little absent-minded when he spoke.

Chen Yang didn't ask any more questions. Since the stone tablet had been taken out of Dawa Mountain, the first thing promised to Shi Ling should be completed.

"You said on the phone before that you would bring me something?" Chen Yang changed the subject.

Tong Xin called him a few days ago and told him about this.

But this kid was very mysterious and kept us in suspense. He refused to say anything on the phone and only said it was a delicacy from Mount Dawa. We would know when we met.

Upon hearing this, Tong Xin calmed down and without saying a word, he took the backpack thrown next to him and gently placed it on the table.

Judging from his movements, it seems to be quite weighty.

Chen Yang was also curious about what good stuff this guy could come up with.

Tong Xin opened his backpack and quickly took out a bowl-sized, irregular lump from it.

It's black and obviously metal.

As for the material, Chen Yang couldn't tell it with his eyes.

"Look."

Tong Xin had already handed the thing to Chen Yang.

Chen Yang reached out to take it, and it was indeed quite heavy.

Even a small piece as big as a bowl must weigh at least several dozen kilograms.

There were dark burn marks on the surface and the texture was very hard. He used Shaoyang sword energy to scratch the surface of the thing.

A small, shallow scratch revealed a light cyan color.

Chen Yang couldn't tell what kind of metal it was, but he was sure that it was definitely not an ordinary material.

"What is that?" Chen Yang looked at Tong Xin in confusion.

"Meteorite copper."

Tong Xin didn't keep the question in suspense and gave the answer directly.

"Meteorite copper?"

Chen Yang's eyes moved slightly.

Meteorite copper has the word "meteorite" in its name, so there is no doubt that it fell from the sky.

Since there are meteorites and meteorite iron, there must naturally be meteorite copper.

But this thing is very rare.

Everything that falls from the sky is extremely precious.

For example, meteoric iron is an iron ore meteorite from outer space that falls and is quenched by atmospheric friction and melted under extremely high temperatures.

Its strength varies, depending mainly on the quality. Some are high, some are low, but basically they are all above refined iron. Many of them are comparable to or even exceed the strength of materials such as black iron and cold iron.

Chen Yang had seen meteorite iron, but this was the first time he had seen meteorite copper.

He looked at Tong Xin in confusion, "Didn't you say that what you brought me was a specialty of Dawa Mountain? You call this a specialty?"

Is meteorite copper a specialty of your Dawa Mountain?

Chen Yang originally thought that the wild delicacies that Tong Xin mentioned could be at most some magical medicine or cordyceps or something like that.

But he took out a copper lump and said it was a mountain delicacy, which made Chen Yang a little confused. Tong Xin smiled and said, "It wasn't considered a specialty before, but now it is considered a specialty."

"What do you mean? A mine was discovered?" Chen Yang's eyes were full of confusion.

Since it fell from the sky, where is the mine?

Tong Xin said, "Some time ago, our family discovered a large amount of open-pit copper mines on the top of Dawa Mountain. After identification, it was found to be meteorite copper, many of which are of very high quality..."

"A large amount?"

Chen Yang raised his eyebrows, "How much?"

"inestimable."

Tong Xin shook his head. "I don't know when it fell on the top of Mount Dawa. What's exposed now is just the tip of the iceberg. The piece you see is the one I picked out for the best quality. The material is comparable to black iron. There are many like this on Mount Dawa. If it can be further refined, it will definitely produce a lot of copper essence..."

After continuous smelting, steel can be smelted into an essence that is stronger than black iron. This material is called refined gold, or gold essence.

The same goes for copper. By smelting it using secret methods, it is certain that copper essence can be produced.

Chen Yang looked at Tong Xin in surprise, "So, what was your idea when you gave me this thing?"

Tong Xin said, "Brother Yang, aren't you very close to the Guan family in Mangshan? I heard that the current person in power in the Guan family, Old Lady Guan, is your aunt..."

"Our family doesn't have the ability to smelt copper essence, but the Guan family can. In terms of refining materials and making tools, the Guan family is second to none in our country. I'm afraid no one dares to claim to be first..."

"But our family has never had any contact with the Guan family, so I would like to ask Brother Yang to help make the contact. Our Tong family is willing to work together with the Guan family to develop this meteorite copper mine..."

……

When he said this, Tong Xin had already put everything else behind him and became completely alert.

"Ah."

Chen Yang smiled and said, "I thought you really brought me some wild delicacies, but you actually asked me to do something for you?"

Tong Xin smiled bitterly, "Brother Yang, after thinking about it, it would be safer to ask you to help build a bridge. You know, the current situation in the Panshan area of ​​the province is such that everyone is in danger. Our Tong family is the same. We are afraid that we might make a mistake if we are not careful..."

"As the saying goes, an innocent man is guilty of possessing a treasure. If such a large mineral vein is exposed, it will definitely attract many people's jealousy and covetousness. Our Tong family does not have the ability to protect it. Therefore, firstly, the Guan family has the ability to smelt copper, and secondly, the Guan family also has enough background to provide shelter for our Tong family..."

"If the Guan family is willing to cooperate, our Tong family can give up some of our interests..."

……

Chen Yang pinched his chin and said, "Brother, the things under the ground belong to the country."

Tong Xin smiled bitterly, "That's true, but Dawa Mountain is the base camp of our Tong family. Our ancestors have lived at the foot of Dawa Mountain for generations. This is a matter of Panshanjie. Even if the official knows about it, it should be handled according to the rules of Panshanjie..."

"My grandfather's idea is to talk to the Guan family first. If we can reach an agreement, we can develop the area together..."

"What if the deal fails?" Chen Yang asked.

Tong Xin said, "If the negotiation fails, then we can only report it to the association. At that time, maybe the Guan family won't have anything to do with it, but if the government starts to develop it, our Tong family will definitely have a share..."

"You're probably thinking too simply."

Chen Yang shook his head, with a playful expression on his face.

Tong Xin looked at him suspiciously.

Chen Yang said, "You also said that the Guan family is an expert in refining materials and making tools. They are second to none in the country and have official background. When the official comes forward to develop, it is likely that the Guan family will do it. I can't guarantee whether your Tong family will benefit from it, but the Guan family will definitely benefit..."

Tong Xin was stunned when he heard this, and after thinking about it carefully, it seemed to be true.

Chen Yang said, "So, the Guan family doesn't need to talk to you privately. They just need to wait for the authorities to come to them. And it's legitimate. There's no need to join forces with your Tong family in secret."

This statement did serve as a wake-up call for the dreamer.

Tong Xin's expression changed slightly, "Then, Brother Yang, what do you think we should do?"

Chen Yang asked, "Besides your Tong family, does anyone else know about the discovery of the meteorite copper mine in Dawa Mountain?"

"At present, only people in our Tong family know about it. Apart from telling you, no one else has heard about it. My grandfather has also issued strict instructions, so not many people in the clan know about it..." Tong Xin said.

Chen Yang nodded. "If you only consider the interests of your Tong family, you can develop it yourself, move the mine back to your home, and then talk to the Guan family about cooperation..."

"This……"

Tong Xin paused after hearing this, with an embarrassed expression on her face. "To be honest, we have thought about this, but it is too difficult to do. The meteorite copper mine is very large and it is very difficult to mine. Moreover, there is no such thing as a wall that is impenetrable. We can find a way to mine it ourselves, but it will make too much noise and it will be easily exposed. At that time, we will inevitably be attacked by other forces..."

Turning things in the mountains into private property and then seeking cooperation in the name of private property can indeed avoid some problems, but it is too difficult and the corresponding troubles are not small.

Chen Yang nodded slightly, "Also, we must be prepared to be blacklisted by the Mountain Driving Association after the truth is exposed."

"Isn't it?"

Tong Xin smiled bitterly, "If our family secretly took over such a large mine, we would definitely offend the association. It would not be worth it."

Chen Yang said, "Then tell the truth and report it directly. Let the association allocate resources. When the time comes, you, the Tong family, will just have to wait and get your share..."

Upon hearing this, Tong Xin pondered for a moment.

Can't they think of these problems?
How could they not consider this? They just wanted to contact the Guan family first before reporting it. If they could reach an agreement with the Guan family first, they could report it to the association at that time. With the help of the Guan family, the Tong family could get more benefits.

After all, the Guan family has some influence.

This is both cooperation and leveraging the situation.

Chen Yang said, "You want me to be the middleman and help you contact the Guan family. As a friend, I can help you with this. However, the Guan family will most likely ignore you..."

Tong Xin opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but didn't know where to start.

The Guan family can obviously just wait and they will have meat to eat, so why should they bother with you and help your Tong family gain benefits?
Just based on Chen Yang's words?

You said it yourself, your Tong family and Guan family are not familiar with each other.

Tongxin was in trouble.

Chen Yang said, "Under the current situation, the association will definitely keep a close eye on you guys. You can't be sure that the matter of the meteorite copper mine has been leaked long ago. The truth will come out sooner or later. You should confess as soon as possible so that you can leave a good impression. Don't try to do anything tricky. Since this meteorite copper mine is large enough, Tongxin, don't be too greedy..."

greedy?
When Tong Xin heard this, it was as if he had been enlightened.

He couldn't help but think of his great-grandfather. Wasn't it because of greed that he almost destroyed the Tong family?
It was really difficult for Chen Yang to give him any advice on this matter. After all, the things were found in Dawa Mountain, and it was normal for the Tong family to have selfish motives.

Even if it was Chen Yang himself, when he discovered the fire jade vein in Sipan Mountain, didn't he develop it secretly by himself?
It is understandable that the Tong family wants to gain the greatest benefits in this matter.

Chen Yang could only remind him not to be too greedy, to know when to stop, to take what he should take, and not to dream too much.

Of course, if the Tong family doesn't listen, they will have to bear the consequences if anything goes wrong in the future.

Tong Xin thought about it for a while and nodded, "I understand. I'll call my grandfather later and tell him about the situation."

"Do you still want me to help your family connect with the Guan family?" Chen Yang asked.

"Don't worry about it for now, let's see what my grandfather says."

At this point, Tong Xin gave a helpless smile and said, "Actually, there's nothing wrong with reporting it directly. I'm just worried that the association will classify this meteorite copper mine as a reserve resource. If it's not allowed to be developed at that time, it will be a big loss."

Chen Yang didn't say much. This was the Tong family's business and he didn't want to interfere.

……

-

The weather was too hot, so the two of them drank tea in Wang'e Tower for the entire afternoon. They waited until the sun set and it was almost five o'clock, when it became cooler, before they paid the bill and left.

Erlang Mountain.

This was not the first time Chen Yang came here, so he was quite familiar with the place.

Today is not the weekend, so there are not many tourists on the mountain. In addition, the two of them were late when they climbed up the mountain, so they met some old men and women on the road, who were also heading down the mountain.

When we arrived at Erlang Temple, it was already past six o'clock. Most of the tourists had left, and several Taoist priests were cleaning the courtyard.

Erlang Temple has a deep connection with the Zhao family of Luoshan. Historically, Erlang Temple has been destroyed many times. The most recent one was in the 1970s when it was burned down by Yang Dongguan.

Later, the Zhao family invested money and rebuilt it.

This is the ancestral home of the Duangong lineage in Shu. Among the people in the Emei area, the Duangong profession is very popular and has a great influence.

The Duangong lineage believes in both Buddhism and Taoism, but is neither Buddhist nor Taoist. Strictly speaking, they should be more inclined towards witchcraft.

Duangong is also called Yinyang and Shigong in the folks. It is a product of the fusion of three religions.

There are many folk schools, such as Yuanhuang Sect, Meishan Sect, Lushan Sect, etc. They are always present in weddings, funerals and weddings.

Erlang Temple belongs to the Yuanhuang Taoist tradition.

In the early years, Erlang Temple was a holy place for the Shu people to study. It had a very formal teaching system, and certificates would be awarded after completing the studies.

However, the teaching here is only theoretical, with little practice.

The practice mentioned here refers to cultivation.

Huang Daolin studied here when he was young, but did not learn any real skills. Until he left Erlang Temple, his physical fitness had just reached a certain level.

According to Huang Daolin himself, his greatest gain during his years of studying at Erlang Temple was reading a large number of literature books in the temple's library, and he had dabbled in the essence of Buddhism, Taoism and witchcraft.

The art of using a boy to write in a spirit medium was something he discovered unexpectedly from those documents.
