Ten days later, the mining process of the ore vein is coming to an end...

Liu Hong and Jin Hong were sitting in the cave, surrounded by their confidants... six subordinate stewards, their faces beaming with joy, and they were chatting animatedly.

"Since the death of Luo, the output of the mine has been getting better and better every year. This year, the mine volume is even richer. Nearly 350,000 low-grade sacred stones were produced at once. I told you a long time ago, but also

Master Liu must lead everyone, you see, even God has opened his eyes, when did the situation like this happen when the man named Luo was still alive?"

In Liu Hong's cave, a subordinate manager flattered Liu Hong without any secret. Although the words were explicit, direct, and not subtle at all, no one felt embarrassed.

With the praise of this subordinate manager, everyone else followed suit and praised him.

Another subordinate manager was afraid of being left behind and said: "That's not true. Mr. Liu is the most suitable candidate for Ling master in our minds. Can his surname Luo be comparable? For so many years, Mr. Liu has not been busy doing other things.

With everyone running around, how can we be as wealthy as we are now? Look at the chaos outside now. The little gods with no background have all turned into robbers, and a one-turn god has to throw away all his belongings while walking on the road.

The bags were tightly covered for fear of being robbed. The little gods did not even dare to close their eyes when sleeping, for fear that if they were not careful, they would be killed by their companions and take away the treasures. Even the city lord secretly planned to plunder the treasures from the shops in the city.

, started to make a living as a bandit, this western border is so chaotic, the harder the Five Gods City suppresses, the easier it is to cause trouble, and now everyone is in danger, unlike our Qingmu Mansion, which is prosperous from top to bottom."

"That's right. Mr. Liu puts himself in everyone's shoes. Let's follow Mr. Liu and work hard. He will definitely not treat us badly. Now because of a low-grade sacred stone outside, human life is not as cheap as a dog. Only Mr. Liu

, only then will we think about everyone and work for everyone’s benefit.”

"Then we have to support Mr. Liu even more. No matter what anyone says in the future, even if Leader Leng transfers another ridge master, we will never agree. Only Mr. Liu is qualified to be our ridge master."

"Yes, there is nothing wrong with that."

In the cave, several lower-level stewards were talking to each other, and Liu Hong was almost praised to the sky.

Next to him, Jin Hong kept squinting and smiling, and would add a few words from time to time, but no one knew what he was thinking.

Liu Hong looked at the people pursuing him with a look of relief. After listening for a while, he waved his hand and interrupted: "Okay, don't slap me around. I'm embarrassed to do so. Let's do this. This year's production of sacred stones will be huge."

For the good harvest, I will give each of you an extra 10% according to the previous years’ rules, but no more.”

When everyone heard this, they were immediately overjoyed. They stood up one after another to show their loyalty and said, "I will thank Mr. Liu later."

"I'm still calling you Mr. Liu, now it's time to call me Lingzhu."

"Ha ha……"

Having said that and laughed, Liu Hong shook his head and said with a smile: "There is no need to say these words anymore. Anyway, I just have an idea. As long as everyone works together, we will be blessed. If anyone wants to get involved in our Qingmu branch, I will

None of them agreed."

"Yes, I won't agree." Everyone expressed their opinions one after another.

At this time, Liu Hong turned to his confidant and asked: "There is indeed a lot of sacred stones coming out this year, so the storage location must be taken care of. Except for the sacred stones I asked you to prepare, the rest should be transported out."

Liu Hong's ability to control the Qingmu branch relies on this sacred stone vein.

Liu Hong alone has the final say on how many sacred stones the subordinate gods and minor gods of the Qingmu branch receive every day, and the sacred stones are the lifeblood of spiritual practice, so it would be useless without them.

Nowadays, the situation in the Western Realm is becoming more and more difficult. Outside, the sacred stones are basically robbed, because the mineral veins in the Western Realm are either occupied by fourth-level gods like city lords, or they are in extremely dangerous places.

The little gods and gods cannot enter, or they have been mined out, so the entire western region can be described as impoverished.

The situation in the Western Realm is so bad that the little gods don't have the sacred stones to practice.

Not being able to practice means that your cultivation level will deteriorate, you will always live a life of inferiority to others, and you will even be killed for no reason.

Therefore, there are not many places like the Aoki branch where you can get the sacred stones to practice every day without going out.

Therefore, several people under Liu Hong all supported Liu Hong.

As for Liu Hong, he controls the mineral veins and holds a large share of mass production. He only needs to give the people below him a little sweetness to win over people's hearts and consolidate his position. Naturally, there is no reason why he should not do it.

But he's not the ridge master yet, so he shouldn't go too far in some things.

He did look down on Feng Jueyu, but he couldn't tell him in front of Feng Jueyu that you were just a puppet and that I had the final say regarding the divine stone veins. He couldn't say such a thing.

Therefore, except for the portion originally promised, he must hide the rest.

And this collection will not only be produced this year.

No matter who is in power, the sacred stone veins must be mined every year, and since the Aoki branch is a relatively complete force and is under the supervision of the Lord of Tianying City, naturally a portion of the sacred stones produced every year must be set aside for storage.

.

There are savings every year, and when accumulated, we can do big things in the future, such as rewarding the little gods, such as attracting some masters, and purchasing and exchanging materials. God stones must be used, so there must be stocks.

The inventory is increasing, and the practitioner's Qiankun bag is extremely limited. If it cannot fit in it, he can only find a place to put it.

And this place is under Liu Hong's control.

He had to hide part of the sacred stone from Feng Jueyu, and not allow the latter to get a handle on it.

Hearing Liu Hong's question, his confidant hurriedly said: "Don't worry, sir, everything has been arranged. The first two batches of sacred stones have been sent in batches. The last fifty thousand yuan will be sent to the cave today. After delivering these,

Just seal up the cave and it’s over.”

Liu Hong nodded and reminded his confidant: "It must be kept secret. Although we will not hand over the mineral vein to the person named Feng, he was brought by Leader Leng after all. Leader Leng has to give him face, and we must not let him

If he finds out, as long as he doesn't find out, there will be no clue, so as long as he doesn't act recklessly, we don't need to worry about him."

"Don't worry, sir. I know what to do. Feng Jueyu doesn't have ten pairs of eyes. I can't find him even if I ask him to look for them. Those who gave the divine stone are all our own, and nothing will happen to him."

of."

Liu Hong nodded with satisfaction: "Well, I can rest assured that you are doing things."

Before he finished speaking, someone suddenly ran in in a panic. He didn't even kneel down when he came in. He was sweating profusely and shouted: "Mr. Chang, it's not good. Ling, Ling Master led his people to block Qiao Yan and the others.

Already."

"What? What's blocking it? Can you please tell me?" Mr. Chang was one of Liu Hong's confidants. He jumped up immediately after hearing this.

Others looked at the little god who came to report the news with serious faces.

The little god rolled his throat and replied without any delay: "Just now, when the villain was following Qiao Yan and they were preparing to send the last batch of sacred stones to the cave for storage, Ling... Ling Master, that Feng

Jue Yu, for some unknown reason, led Wu Xianjun and the others to the secret passage in the woods in the Nanshan cave, and immediately blocked Qiao Yan. After Qiao Yan was blocked, Feng Jueyu directly asked people to search him.

Qiao Yan still has a total of 50,000 pieces of sacred stones that were just dug out, and now everyone can no longer tell."

"What? What did you do when you stepped on the horse? Didn't I ask Qiao Yan to be careful? You..." Chang Wei, Liu Hong's confidant, was sweating on his forehead as he spoke.

The yield of this divine stone is a secret that Feng Jueyu cannot tell.

Although it is not considered a secret in the Qingmu branch, it is not a secret, and Feng Jueyu cannot explain it clearly.

But now, Feng Jueyu blocked the person himself, which was tantamount to being exposed.

Chang Wei's eyes moved over and he happened to see Liu Hong's livid face. The friendly expression just now disappeared completely. He looked as if he was about to eat someone.

When Chang Wei saw this, he knelt on the ground with a bang, trembling all over and said: "It's my subordinate who did something wrong, and he deserves to be punished. Please punish me."

Liu Hong had a gloomy face and ignored Chang Wei at all. He faced Xiao Shen who came to report the news and said, "Who did you just say Feng Jueyu brought over?"

"Wuxianjun, there are five or six little gods."

"Wuxianjun belongs to Han Zhao." Jin Hong reminded him as he sat aside.

Liu Hong was silent for a while with a gloomy look on his face, then he suddenly stood up slowly and said: "This Han Zhao deserves to be damned for being too hard on his horse. He and I just had a gentleman's agreement half a month ago, and then he turned around and stabbed me in the back.

"

Jin Hong also stood up and said: "No need to ask, Han Zhao wants to borrow Feng Jueyu's sword to kill us first. His goal is to treasury privately."

How could Liu Hong not think of what Jin Hong could think of? He glanced at Chang Wei with a gloomy look and said: "I will deal with your sins later. Now, mobilize your men and follow me to Nanshan Cave.

Horse riding, since Han Zhao sent Lord Wuxian to block Qiao Fang on the road to the Nanshan Stone Cave, the cave's treasury must have been exposed. Today, today, we must have a showdown with that man surnamed Feng.

Bring everyone with you. Today I want to ask Feng Jueyu face to face whether he wants life or a divine stone. He can only choose one of the two."

"Listen to Brother Liu, mobilize your manpower immediately, quickly." Jin Hong snorted and echoed.

After a while, Jin Hong, including himself and Liu Hong's subordinates, began to frantically gather their men and headed toward the Nanshan cave where the sacred stone was stored.

This dispute has finally come to a showdown, and everyone knows it.

Today is an extremely important day for Liu Hong, Feng Jueyu, or Han Zhao.

Because it determines who will make the decision in the future of this Aoki branch.
