Chapter 13: Chapter 13: Superior Qing Stone Vein, Hu Family _1
Lost in thought for a long time, Luo Changfeng eventually decided to open and take a look first.
So, he squatted down.
He took out the “Feng Ying Step (Incomplete)” that was placed at the bottom of the white jade cabinet.
Opening it, he began to peruse it carefully.
It was fine not to look, but once he did…
Things became somewhat serious.
This object seemed to indeed be half a cultivation technique that could be classified as a top-notch common-grade item.
And why say so?
The main reason was that this cultivation technique was really too complicated.
Even a cursory glance made one feel a bit overwhelmed.
It was a bit uncertain how one would even begin to cultivate it.
…
After taking the cultivation technique with him,
Luo Changfeng returned to his own courtyard.
He started to study how to begin learning the incomplete Feng Ying Step.
After all, he could advance through consuming qi and blood points.
As long as he made a start, everything else would be manageable.
But if he couldn’t even start…
Then he really wouldn’t have any other way.
…
Time flew by swiftly.
In the blink of an eye, three days had passed.
During these three days, nothing significant had happened in Qingshi Town.
The entire town was still as usual.
Aside from the daily increasing number of refugees, bandits claiming the mountains as their own, and the people who were starving to death at home,
the vast Qingshi Town was still relatively calm.
“Seven days have passed…”
Within the Zhao Family Ancestral Land, one of the four major clans of Qingshi Town.
Inside the room where the Zhao Family Head resided.
Zhao Wu, the current Family Head of the Zhao Family,
was silently calculating the time in his mind.
Previously, Doctor Wang, also known as Wang Kun, had said that the old guy at the Luo Family Ancestral Land could live at most for another half a month.
Now, seven days had gone by.
Presumably, even if the old guy in the Luo Family Ancestral Land wasn’t dead, he should be at his last gasp, right?
“Someone…”
Suddenly, Zhao Wu called out loudly to the servant outside his room.
“Family Head, what are your orders?”
The servant entered the room, bowing slightly, his expression appearing quite respectful.
“Is there any news from the Luo side?” Zhao Wu asked in a low voice.
Regarding this question, the servant of the Zhao Family silently shook his head.
“Alright, I got it, you can leave…”
Zhao Wu waved his hand calmly.
Just as he was about to deal with some trivial family affairs,
the Young Master of the Zhao Family, Zhao Qian,
was hurriedly scurrying into the room.
“Dad, great news, huge news…”
“Great news?” Zhao Wu, hearing this, quickly stood up, “Is it that the old guy in the Luo Family Clan land died?”
“No, it’s not that…” Zhao Qian took several deep breaths before he managed to explain.
“If not that, then what good news is it?”
Zhao Wu, a bit disappointed, sat back in his chair, looking calmly at Zhao Qian.
“Dad, the team we from the Zhao Family sent out to explore the Qing stone veins has sent a message back.”
“They say that outside Qingshi Town, a top-grade Qing stone vein has been discovered.”
“A rough estimate suggests that the length of the vein might even reach 300 meters!”
“A 300-meter-long top-grade Qing stone vein?” Zhao Wu, hearing this, stood up again, his expression somewhat excited as he asked, “Are you sure about this?”
“Dad, this information is absolutely true; those people below wouldn’t dare to deceive us with this kind of news.”
“However…” As he spoke, Zhao Qian suddenly became hesitant.
“However what?” Zhao Wu’s brows furrowed slightly, a bad premonition vaguely emerging in his heart.
“However, that roughly three-hundred-meter-long Qingshi ore vein is also known to the Luo Family.”
“Moreover, that Luo Yong from the Luo Family brought a good number of elite house servants to station near that premium Qingshi ore vein.”
“They even drove out all of our Zhao Family’s people from there.”
As Zhao Qian finished these words, the atmosphere in the room suddenly turned somewhat strange.
“How dare that third one of the Luo Family do this?”
“How does he dare to act like this?”
The more Zhao Wu spoke, the more furious he became; he even felt an urge to directly lead a group to slaughter that third member of the Luo Family.
But, thoughts are thoughts, reality is reality.
The reality is that even if Zhao Wu had the ability to kill that third member of the Luo Family, his Zhao Family would definitely be severely harmed by the Luo Family.
In these chaotic times, if a family’s strength were to be damaged,
It would virtually be no different from the family’s extinction.
This kind of action would be too great a loss for too little gain.
“Father, what should our Zhao Family do next?”
“Just watch as the Luo Family takes that premium Qingshi ore vein for themselves?”
Zhao Qian felt somewhat unwilling in his heart.
Even though he did not know much about the family’s industries.
And for the information about this so-called premium Qingshi ore vein, his knowledge was also quite limited.
But at least, what he knew was,
This approximately three-hundred-meter-long premium Qingshi ore vein could definitely be compared to a gold mine.
Even more so in these chaotic times.
The price of such strong and durable Qingshi was bound to soar.
If it truly came to that time, the Luo Family could surely use this premium Qingshi ore vein in their hands,
And transform themselves overnight into the strongest family within Qingshi Town.
“As of now, all we can do is wait.”
Inside the room, Zhao Wu’s complexion turned slightly unsightly.
“Wait? Wait for what?” Zhao Qian didn’t quite understand what his father was getting at.
“The time is not yet ripe,”
“We can only wait until that old thing in the Luo Family Ancestral Land passes away.”
“Wait until the discord among the three brothers within the Luo Family Ancestral Land intensifies.”
“That will be our Zhao Family’s best opportunity to make a move,” Zhao Wu said in a low voice.
After finishing these words, he lowered his head and began to deal with some of the recent matters within the family,
No longer paying attention to his somewhat useless son Zhao Qian.
…
Within Qingshi Town, aside from the Luo Family and Zhao Family,
There was also the Jing Family, which controlled all the gambling dens,
And the Hu Family, which controlled all the marketplaces.
Since the Jing Family opened a large number of gambling dens within Qingshi Town and was making a fortune every day,
And furthermore, as they did not understand the mining and selling of the Qingshi ore veins,
They were not particularly concerned about the newly discovered premium Qingshi ore vein outside the town.
But the Hu Family, which controlled all the marketplaces within Qingshi Town,
Was extremely curious about this matter.
“Min’er, who do you think will be the victor between the Luo and Zhao Families in the end?”
In the Hu Family Ancestral Land, within a courtyard pleasing to the eye, under a pavilion made of Qingshi,
There was Hu Da, the current Family Head of the Hu Family, and his son,
That is, the current Young Master of the Hu Family, Hu Min.
The two of them sat on opposite sides of a stone table beneath the pavilion, playing a game of chess and chatting in low voices.
“If it’s just between the Luo and Zhao Families, it’s likely that the Zhao Family will be the final victor!”
“Near Qingshi Town, a premium Qingshi ore vein roughly three hundred meters long was discovered.”
“Given this, the Zhao Family Head can actually hold back and not be moved.”
“This shows that the Zhao Family Head is no ordinary individual.”
“Furthermore, there have been rumors recently that the Ancestor of the Luo Family within the Luo Family Ancestral Land is reaching the end of his days and will not live much longer.”
“If the Luo Family loses the suppression of their ancestor, the discord among the three brothers will undoubtedly worsen over time.”
“And if the Luo Family comes to that point, their downfall will not be too far away…”
