Plotting to Seize the Ji-Earth Vein

When he talked about the distribution of benefits in the Border Province, everyone had different expressions.

Xu Daoyuan and Yang Yuanhe looked somewhat helpless, while Pan Boyuan showed a hint of joy.

Pan Boyuan immediately spoke up, smiling as he echoed, "Fellow Daoist Chen is right. Our Lineage of Border Province should stand together through thick and thin, and we should also jointly protect the Border Province Spiritstone Mine and that Xin-Metal Ore Vein."

Yang Yuanhe frowned, glanced at Pan Boyuan, and said, "The Chen Clan is, after all, a native immortal clan of our Border Province, and has been rooted in Border Province for many years. They still have a legitimate claim when it comes to the allocation of Spirit Stone mines."

"But Fellow Daoist Pan is new here, isn't it a bit too much to be so eager to get a share of the pie?"

Xu Daoyuan nodded in agreement. After the Pan Clan joined Yu Commandery, they contributed both money and effort, making Yu Commandery extremely prosperous and gradually becoming the center of Bianyang and Liangzhou.

However, this did not bring much benefit to Fengling Commanderies, so they naturally did not want the Pan Clan to get a share.

Just then, Pan Boyuan's eyes flickered slightly. He looked around and then quietly transmitted his voice to several Purple Mansion Ancestors.

"As you probably know, during the last Beast Turmoil, my Pan Clan lost two Purple Mansion Ancestors and more than twenty Foundation Establishment."

"I understand this matter." The Old Clan Leader stroked his long beard and said with a solemn expression, "The Azure Sun Sect has disregarded the Azure Sun Alliance and has not even given you a single Spirit Stone as compensation."

"Exactly."

Pan Boyuan's eyes flashed with murderous intent, and he said coldly, "The Azure Sun Sect is ruthless, and we cannot allow ourselves to be slaughtered."

"As far as I know, the Azure Sun Sect occupies the only Tier 3 High-grade Ji-Earth Vein in Cangkun Mountain, Border Province Spirit Commandery."

Upon hearing this, everyone's expression shifted slightly. The Ji-Earth Vein of Cangkun Mountain was the only Tier 3 High-grade Earth Vein in the Border Province.

That Ji-Earth Vein not only produces a large amount of earth-attribute resources, but also nurtures a Ji-Earth Crystal every thirty years. Most importantly, there is a rare Violet Sun Pool in that Earth Vein.

It is said that every hundred years, a piece of Violet Sun Jade is born in the Violet Sun Pool. It is a precious treasure that everyone dreams of. Even the Subterranean Fire Vein of Heavenly Ruins Mountain do not contain such a treasure.

Thinking of this, Chen Nianzhi's pupils contracted slightly, and then he asked, "What do you mean?"

"The Azure Sun Sect has lost its morals and has long since lost the support of the people." Pan Boyuan said with a cold expression and a deep gaze, "To be honest, I want to use the pretext of collecting debts to join forces with you all to take over Cangkun Mountain."

Xu Daoyuan exchanged glances with Chen Nianzhi and the others, a glint of light flashing in his eyes, and nodded in agreement.

"During the Beast Turmoil, the Azure Sun Sect did not send a single soldier to support our Border Province."

"We risk our lives to protect all living beings in the Border Province, yet they reap the benefits of the largest Earth Vein in the Border Province, earning tens of thousands of Spirit Stone every year. This is truly outrageous."

Upon hearing this, Chen Nianzhi's heart stirred slightly. With Xu Patriarch severely injured and confined to his quarters, the Purple Mansion of the Azure Sun Sect now only had ten members left.

Of these ten people, most of them will be stationed in Yang Province to resist the Blue-Maned Lion King of Jiaoyang Mountain. Now is indeed the best time to take Cangkun Mountain.

The Azure Sun Sect is now in a state of utter chaos. Within its borders, seven or eight Purple Mansion Immortal Clan from the Azure Sun Two Provinces are eyeing them covetously, while outside, the Firmament Sword Sect and the Purple Abyss Sect also believe that they have acted immorally.

At least within the Firmament Sword Sect, it is said that Golden Core realm elder has spoken up, suggesting that the Azure Sun Sect might not be able to defend their rear next time. He proposed that they should annex the Azure Sun Sect to increase their strength and avoid being attacked from both sides in the future.

As the leading sect among the three major sects of the Chu Kingdom, the Firmament Sword Sect has had three Golden Core realm Ancestors since Daoist Jingxu broke through to the Golden Core realm sixty years ago.

In the past century, relying on its rapidly growing strength, the Firmament Sword Sect has even suppressed the Demon Cave within the Azuregreen Mountains, so much so that no major demonic disaster has occurred in the Chu Kingdom for the past hundred years.

Under such circumstances, everyone began to think that when the wall falls, everyone pushes it down. Now, the four major Purple Mansion Immortal Clan in Border Province have a total of seven Purple Mansion cultivators. Even if the Azure Sun Sect wanted to retaliate, it would be difficult to do anything to them.

Seeing that everyone had reached a tacit understanding, Chen Nianzhi said, "Since we're going to make a move, we must make sure it's a clean hit."

I have already investigated this matter.

Pan Boyuan was clearly prepared. He said with a serious expression, "The Azure Sun Sect's strength is currently concentrated in the Azure Sun Two Provinces, with only Li Heyuan stationed on Cangkun Mountain."

Upon hearing this, Chen Nianzhi's brow twitched slightly. Li Heyuan was an elder of the Azure Sun Sect Purple Mansion Sect. He had broken through to the Purple Mansion less than thirty years ago, and his cultivation was only at the Second Layer of Purple Mansion realm.

However, he did not relax. Instead, he said solemnly, "Li Heyuan is not a concern, but the Tier 3 Formation on Cangkun Mountain is a big problem."

Cangkun Mountain is no ordinary Earth Vein. Back then, in order to protect this ley Earth Vein, the Azure Sun Sect not only specially cultivated a Third-Order Spirit Vein, but also set up Tier 3 Mid-grade formation Ji-Earth Heavenly Yin Formation.

With Li Heyuan's cultivation at the Early Purple Mansion realm, activating Tier 3 Mid-grade formation, even one or two Purple Mansion Late Stage cultivators might not be able to easily defeat him.

Just then, Xu Daoyuan spoke up, saying, "Although the formation is a big problem, it's not without ways to counter it."

"My Xu Clan possesses a Tier 3 High-grade Restriction-Breaking Talisman, capable of weakening Tier 3 High-grade formation by 30%, and a Tier 3 Mid-grade formation by 50%."

"However, the Restriction-Breaking Talisman is worth 100,000 Spirit Stone. If you want us to hand over this treasure, you will each have to give up some of your own interests."

Chen Nianzhi exchanged a glance with the Old Clan Leader, then looked at Pan Boyuan and Yang Yuanhe, and finally nodded and spoke.

"How about this, the three of us will each give you 20,000 Spirit Stone or equivalent supplies."

"After this is accomplished, the Pan Clan will receive 15% of the profits from Border Province, our Chen Clan and Yang families will each receive 25%, and your Xu Clan will receive 35% exclusively. What do you say?"

Xu Daoyuan nodded. The Xu Clan had two Mid-Purple Mansion realm cultivators, making them the strongest in the Border Province, but even so, they still made a slight profit by taking the lion's share of the profits.

However, after thinking for a moment, he still spoke up and said, "My Xu Clan is the strongest, and we will contribute the most in this battle. The first Ji-Earth Crystal produced in the Earth Vein should be obtained by my Xu Clan first."

Upon hearing this, no one had any other objections.

After the group quickly finalized the details, the Purple Mansion Banquet came to an end.

After the banquet ended, the guests gradually dispersed, and the major Purple Mansion Immortal Clan returned to their respective Lineage to begin gathering their forces.

In order to resolve the battle quickly, while all the Foundation Establishment of the Lineage were still present, the Old Clan Leader and Chen Nianzhi kept the Foundation Establishment cultivator of the patriarch behind that day.

After informing them of the situation, they decided to leave only four Foundation Establishment cultivators to guard the Lineage's four key Spirit Vein, and then use a treasure boat to carry the nine Foundation Establishment cultivators to the Pan Clan.

The Pan Clan had long harbored resentment towards the Azure Sun Sect, and upon hearing that they were going to deal with the Azure Sun Sect, all the Foundation Establishment cultivators anxiously volunteered for battle.
