Asking the Yang Family to Help Manage the Spirit Vein

The territory of the Hundred Spirits Sect, Jing Province, and Huai River County.

Today, a strange Qi Training Late Stage guest arrived at Lingxiao Mountain of the Ling Clan Mountain, requesting an audience with Ling Pengshan, the current acting Clan Head of the Ling Clan.

Upon learning of this news, Ling Pengshan immediately met with the visitor.

"Senior Ling, this letter was given to me by Old Ancestor Ling to pass on to you." The middle-aged cultivator with regular features, dressed in a Linen Daoist Robe, did not say much, but took out a letter from his bosom and handed it to Ling Pengshan.

"Thank you for your trouble, fellow Daoist."

Ling Pengshan understood that the visitor was a messenger sent by Ling Pengyun, who was expanding the Lineage's territory in the White Cloud Mountain Range. After thanking him, he took the letter and carefully read it.

The letter contained a considerable amount of text, which briefly stated that after occupying the Muddy Swamp Territory, it arranged some things that Ling Pengshan needed to do.

After visiting the mountain, Ling Pengshan happily saw off his guests. He then left the clan mountain and headed to the Pingyun Yang clan mountain in Yunshui County.

Inside the reception hall at the foot of Level Cloud Mountain, Yang Clan Mountain.

"Brother Peng Shan, what a rare guest! You must have come with something in mind. If there is anything, the Yang Clan can help. Please don't hesitate to ask. There's no need to stand on ceremony with me."

Yang Mingtian, the Clan Head of the Yang Clan, was very enthusiastic and asked Ling Pengshan questions.

Eight years ago, at the Golden Core Ceremony, Ling Pengyun publicly announced that the Yang Clan was a relative of the Ling Clan family and that the two families would form a thousand-year alliance. Since then, the relationship between the two families has been as close as brothers.

As a result, Yang Mingtian, the Clan Head of the Yang Clan, gradually developed a close relationship with Ling Pengshan, the head of the Lineage in recent years, and they have become sworn brothers.

"Brother Mingtian, I have indeed come here today to ask for your help with something."

"My Eighth Brother killed the Golden Core Realm Crocodile King of the Swamp Giant Crocodile Clan, the overlord of the Muddy Swamp Territory in the White Cloud Mountain Range, a month ago, and also killed the other Demon Beast in the Muddy Swamp Territory. That area has now been occupied by my eighth brother and his men."

"However, that territory is vast. Although our clan has occupied it, there are more than two thousand Spirit Vein Spirit Vein within it, and our Ling Clan clan has not enough manpower to make full use of them."

"Brother Mingtian, would your Yang Clan be willing to send people to help our clan manage some First Rank Spirit Vein? In the future, the Spirit Plant produced from those Spirit Vein can be divided in a 3:7 ratio, with our Ling Clan 3 and you taking 7."

"This matter was instructed by my Eighth Brother. As long as you are willing tomorrow, you can ask for as many Spirit Vein as your Yang Clan wants. For the next thousand years, my clan can entrust those Spirit Vein to your clan for care according to this division method."

Seeing that Yang Mingtian's attitude was very satisfactory, Ling Pengshan smiled and then revealed the purpose of his visit.

During the Small Demon Uprising, Yang Clan did everything she could to save Ling Clan, Ling Pengyun never forgot her. As a result, Ling Pengyun trusted this clan.

Ling Pengyun trusts at least three generations of the Yang Clan family.

The main reason Ling Pengyun was willing to let the Yang Clan manage the Spirit Vein in the Muddy Swamp Territory was that the Ling Clan family was short-handed and needed trustworthy people to help manage them.

The benefits of planting Spirit Plant on Spirit Vein are split 30/70, so the Yang Clan actually suffers a slight disadvantage.

After all, the Hundred Spirits Sect handed over the Spirit Vein within its territory to its various Lineage, and all those Lineage needed to do was pay a thousand Spirit Stone every year.

Of course, although the Yang Clan was at a disadvantage in this condition, they had the advantage of being able to freely request the number of Spirit Vein.

Under such circumstances, the rule of splitting the profits of the Spirit Plant planted on this Spirit Vein three to seven is actually quite reasonable.

The Hundred Spirits Sect limits the number of Spirit Vein that its Foundation Establishment Family can have. Generally, Foundation Establishment Family has more than twenty First Rank Spirit Vein Spirit Vein one Second Rank Spirit Vein.

As for the right to use those Spirit Vein for a thousand years, Ling Pengyun also considered that the Lineage's manpower would be difficult to grow in a short period of time, and the Yang Clan was a trustworthy Lineage.

By leasing those Spirit Vein to the Yang Clan in a 30/70 split, even if the Ling Clan family has enough manpower to independently take care of all the Spirit Vein in the Muddy Swamp Territory in the future, they won't suffer too much of a loss.

Furthermore, while the First Rank Spirit Vein were handed over to the Yang Clan for management, the hundreds of most precious Second Rank Spirit Vein in the Muddy Swamp Territory remained firmly under the control of the Ling Clan family.

Yang Mingtian was startled upon hearing what Ling Pengshan said.

Some time ago, because the Ling Clan wanted to expand the White Cloud Mountain Range, he also made a special inquiry about the Demon Beast in the White Cloud Mountain Range.

He had also heard of the Swamp Crocodile King of the swamp crocodile Swamp Giant Crocodile Clan, whose strength reached the peak of the Golden Core Third Layer.

He hadn't expected that Ling Clan Pengyun, the Patriarch Pengyun who had only been in the Golden Core for eight short years, would single-handedly kill such a powerful demon king.

"In comparison, Old Ancestor Ling's strength is probably a few points stronger than Spirit Talisman Old Ancestor's."

"The Ling Clan has now taken over the vast territory of the Muddy Swamp, which has more than two thousand Spirit Vein. The Ling Clan will surely prosper in the future."

"Judging from the way Old Ancestor Ling has treated my Yang Clan over the years, and the fact that he is willing to help my Yang Clan Yang Clan today and give us an extra source of Spirit Stone, it is clear that Old Ancestor Ling is a man of great loyalty and righteousness."

"Back then, Uncle Changxing risked his life, and our clan provided strong support to help the Ling Clan overcome the Small Demon Uprising and forge a thousand-year-old friendship with the Ling Clan. It was truly a wise move."

Yang Mingtian sighed inwardly.

Then, with a smile on his face, he asked Ling Pengshan.

"Brother Peng Shan, my Yang Clan will certainly not miss such a good thing. This is not a noble seeking help from my Yang Clan, but a good thing coming to our door. Thank you, fellow Daoist and Old Ancestor Ling, for giving my Yang Clan this opportunity."

"But I wonder, Brother Peng Shan, is it true that my Yang Clan can casually mention the number of Spirit Vein?"

Ling Pengshan smiled and nodded. "Natural is true."

"That would be excellent. I wonder if the nobleman would be willing to entrust three hundred Spirit Vein to our clan for care?"

Seeing that Ling Pengshan was certain, Yang Mingtian no longer hesitated and reported the number in his mind.

The Yang Clan is different from the Ling Clan. The Yang Clan family has been established for nearly a thousand years and is a truly old and Foundation Establishment Family.

The number of cultivators in this clan has grown to over five hundred over the years.

While such a large number of cultivators may seem like a good thing, it is a huge burden for the Yang Clan.

Due to the rule of the Hundred Spirits Sect that limits the number of Spirit Vein, the Yang Clan has only managed to acquire a little over sixty Spirit Vein over the years, even with the various schemes of the Spirit Talisman Old Ancestor. There is simply no need for so many people to take care of the Spirit Vein.

The other tasks that required manpower from the Yang Clan did not require many people.

This also meant that at least half of the Yang Clan clan had to rely on helping to hunt Demon Beast or working as servants in shops in the market to earn Spirit Stone to get by.

If it were solely the Lineage's responsibility to support them, the Yang Clan, being only Foundation Establishment Family, simply couldn't afford it.

Ling Pengyun's willingness to hand over part of the Spirit Vein in the Muddy Swamp Territory to the Yang Clan for management can be said to have solved the Yang Clan's urgent problem and provided a good job for most of the Yang Clan family members.

Taking care of Spirit Plant is much better than working as a servant in a market shop or hunting Demon Beast.

"Alright, three hundred Spirit Vein it is, it's a deal."

Seeing that Yang Mingtian wanted such a large number of Spirit Vein, Ling Pengshan was delighted and said with a smile.

Yang Clan's move solved a large part of the Lineage's difficult-to-utilize Spirit Vein.

Yang Mingtian's face lit up with even more joy upon hearing that Ling Pengshan had not refused the number of Spirit Vein.

He immediately expressed his gratitude.

"Thank you very much, Brother Peng Shan, for this."

Ling Pengshan waved his hand and said, "If you want to thank someone for this, thank my Eighth Brother."

"By the way, Brother Mingtian, this is Spirit Vein Distribution Map in the Muddy Swamp Territory occupied by my clan."

"At the core of the map, the five hundred Spirit Vein marked by my Ling Clan are what my Ling Clan wants. The other Spirit Vein are currently unclaimed. You can choose from the three hundred First Rank Spirit Vein that your Yang Clan desires."
