Chapter 31 Qi Family, Badong Town
It took about two days for Zheng Yi to arrive near the black iron ore vein.
It is indeed a desolate place. There is only one mine underground and only a broken spiritual vein that is not of high grade, so the spiritual energy here is quite thin.
No wonder the inner sect disciples are unwilling to come and garrison here. Compared with the inner sect of Soul Capturing Sect, this place is simply a barren land.
Not to mention living comfortably, I am afraid that if you stay here for a long time, even your practice will be affected.
Just when Zheng Yi was heading to the black iron ore vein, several family leaders were discussing him in the hall of the Qi family, the only town within a hundred miles nearby.
"Isn't the Soul-Capturing Sect currently fighting against the Hundred Beast Sect? Why do you still have the time to send an inner sect disciple to guard the mine?"
Qi Yuan Shang, the third eldest son of the Qi family, complained.
“It is said that the Soul Capture Sect has just obtained the mining rights of a large-scale high-quality copper mine, and it is really stingy not to give up even a single vein of black iron ore.”
“How about we give it up this time? Just like last time, just give him enough benefits and let him show off.”
"I don't think it's appropriate!"
"The inner disciples of the Soul Captivating Sect are all greedy by nature. The Demon Sect like this has always scraped the bones and sucked the marrow. They will never give up until they are completely scraped. . ”
“The inner disciple who left last time took away the resources accumulated by my Qi family for three years. If we do it again, it will definitely damage our muscles and bones, and it will be very harmful to us in the future. The arrangement is a great threat..."
Qi Yuanming, the second eldest son of the Qi family, said angrily.
“According to the intelligence information I received, the inner disciple sent to guard this time is just a kid who luckily broke through the middle stage of Qi training and became an inner disciple not long ago.”
“It’s just a kid. The fourth level Qi practitioner wants to take advantage of our Qi family. Doesn’t he take us too seriously?”
“We can get benefits, but our Qi family is still the real emperor in charge of the Badong Town Black Iron Mine.”
The Qi family has been operating in this Badong Town for a hundred years. There used to be several big families that were in the late stage of Qi training, and there was even a slight chance of becoming a family in the foundation building stage.
Unfortunately, a civil strife more than ten years ago brought all this to an abrupt end.
During the heyday of the Qi family, they only had to pay tribute to the Soul Captor Sect for a portion of their profits.
But later the Qi family declined, and the Soul-Calling Sect sent people to garrison the mine, which took away the Qi family’s dominance of the mine, making it impossible for the entire Immortal Cultivation family to develop.
The current heads of the Qi family are the three present here. The eldest, Qi Yuanming, is at the sixth level of Qi training. He is the patriarch and the person in power of the family.
The second and third eldest children of the Qi family serve as auxiliary to the patriarch and control the family business.
Due to the remote location, the spiritual energy is thin, and there are not many special products. The only black iron ore vein is the source of most of the family's spiritual stones.
In the past, the Qi family was a family in the late stage of qi training, and the Soul Capturing Sect would not push too hard, but now every few years the Soul Capturing Sect would send inner disciples to garrison, in addition to grabbing a lot of profits for the sect, those Inner disciples will also take cards.
This directly hindered the development of the Qi family. As the local overlord of Badong Town, the Qi family naturally did not welcome the inner disciples sent by the Soul Capturing Sect to garrison.
“After all, he is an inner disciple of the Shang Sect, we cannot offend him.”
“Let’s see how the person is doing before we make plans.”
“What’s more? Losing some profits is a small thing..."
"The most important thing is that he is absolutely not allowed to step into the deepest part of the black iron vein..."
"The things there are the hope for the Qi family to rise again, and we must not lose anything..."

In the end, the patriarch Qi Yuanzong’s eyes were gloomy, and he made up his mind with one word. "Counting the time, the Shangzong disciple should be arriving soon. The second brother and the third brother will follow me to greet him."
...
Just when Zheng Yi When entering the valley, suddenly, several figures appeared on the opposite side, followed by waves of terrifying momentum, and the leading middle-aged man made a loud voice.
"The envoy from the Shangzong came, and Qi came to greet him with all the clan members."
Zheng Yi stood still on his feet, looking at the figures coming quickly, with an inexplicable sneer in his eyes.
It sounds nice to say that I come to welcome you, but one by one the momentum starts to surge, and it is completely overwhelming, and it does not feel like I am being welcomed.
On the contrary, it is more like giving yourself a warning to let yourself know how to advance or retreat.
"You didn't hide it when you first came up? Then you can't blame me."
Zheng Yi sneered in his heart, but there was no expression on his face. He held the inner disciple token and responded loudly.
"Zheng Yi, an inner disciple of the Soul-Calling Sect, came to guard the Black Essence Iron Ore Vein in Badong Town on the order of the sect."
The figures of the Qi family are very fast. When he got there, he saw Zheng Yi's face clearly and felt his aura that was only at the fourth level of Qi training. He couldn't help but look at each other, and the smile on his face became even brighter.
“It seems that the battle for the sale of mid-grade spiritual stone mines between the Soul-Capturing Sect and the Hundred Beasts Sect has reached a fever pitch...”
“Only a mere trainer was sent. Disciples from the fourth level of Qi came to guard the Badong Town mines, and their strength has been seriously degraded..."
According to past practices, it seems that the disciples of the sect have undergone strict training, qualifications and resources, and the inheritance of magical weapons. There is no shortage of these, and at the same level, his combat effectiveness is much stronger than that of ordinary casual cultivators or monks from Qi-training families.
So in order to completely suppress the entire Badong Town mine, the sect usually sends inner disciples who are on the fifth or sixth level of Qi training.
That kind of strength is that of the sect’s inherited disciples. It is a bit difficult for the three brothers of the Qi family to deal with them, so they can only make mistakes and try their best to meet their requirements.
But the information returned this time turned out to be true. The Soul Capturing Sect only sent out a newly promoted inner disciple at the fourth level of Qi training this time.
And looking at that young face, it seems that it is not difficult to deal with. Their plan to continue to occupy the mineral veins and the more profound arrangements later do not seem to be so difficult.
"Haha, the disciples of the Shangzong are indeed talented!"
Qi Yuanzong said with a smile on his face: "The disciples of the Shangzong have come from afar, and the Qi family has prepared a home-cooked meal, so please give me a favor."
As a local leader, the Qi family is the strongest qigong family in the mine in Badong Town, a hundred miles away.
Any disciple who comes from the Soul Captivating Sect who wants to completely master the mineral veins and achieve effective results needs to have a good relationship with the Qi family.
However, Zheng Yi's purpose of coming this time was not simple, but he didn't have time to talk nonsense with them here, so he said lightly.
"Master Qi, you are so polite. How long will Zheng be stationed here?"
"There is no need to prepare for the banquet. Let's take advantage of this moment to see the mineral veins."
"This is a task assigned by the sect. If something goes wrong, Zheng will have to walk around without food!"
As soon as these words came out, Qi Yuanzong was stunned. The photographer Is the new inner disciple of the Soul Sect a lunatic?
I don’t know, if he doesn’t have a good relationship with the Qi family, even if he is a disciple of the Shangzong, he may not be able to move forward in the Badong Town mine.
