Three days later, the Twelfth Uncle, Wang Shouye, came to his cave residence.
Wang Daoyuan opened the door to the cave residence and welcomed the Twelfth Uncle in. He asked, "Twelfth Uncle, you came in such a hurry. Is there something urgent?"
Wang Shouye did not treat Wang Daoyuan as an outsider. He picked up a jar of wine from the cave residence and drank. He said, "I came to find you for two matters. One is that the secret cave residence and the matters at Green Willow Province are finished. The clan leader asked me to call you over. There are some matters that require your participation.
The second matter is about the dumplings. That girl Dao Shu came to find me and asked me to plant a few mu of spirit wheat to make dumplings.
Let me ask you, compared to planting spirit grains, is planting spirit wheat worth it? "
"I will go to the clan leader in a moment." Wang Daoyuan answered. "As for spirit wheat, the yield per mu is higher than spirit grains. It is just more troublesome to plant.
But if spirit wheat is ground into powder, it can be made into many kinds of delicacies. After the market is opened, it should be more worth it than planting spirit grains. "
"Since it is worth it, then I am at ease. After this season's harvest of spirit grains, we will free up a few mu of land to plant spirit wheat." Wang Shouye said with satisfaction, "Dao Yuan, if you have nothing else, let us go see the clan leader. He is still waiting.
Also, don't spread the dumplings recipe. The clan is still relying on this to earn spirit stones. "
Wang Daoyuan had nothing else to do and followed Wang Shouye to the meeting hall.
Wang Zhian saw the two arrive and went straight to the point. "Shouye, Dao Yuan, come with me to the cave residence at the foot of Mirror Iron Mountain. We will also discuss with the people of Green Willow Province."
The two agreed.
The three did not take the water route. They disguised themselves and took the land route, heading towards Mirror Iron Mountain in the southeast direction.
After the decline of the Wang Clan, the Liang Clan had taken over a large piece of the traditional territory north of Clear Stream and east of Clear Glass River. It was a prime area near Clear Glass Market.
Clear Glass River and Clear Stream, these two golden water routes, were controlled by the Liang Clan.
The three were going to see the secret cave residence of the clan. If they took the water route, they would be discovered by the Liang Clan.
And this time, the Patriarch had gone there personally. It couldn't be a small matter.
If they were discovered by the Liang Clan, they would definitely send out Foundation Establishment cultivators to follow and monitor them. Then, the Wang Clan's secret Immortal's Cave would no longer be a secret.
If the Liang Clan found out and reported to the Underworld Sect, the Wang Clan would be done for.
The three of them disguised themselves as rogue cultivators. Sometimes they would split up, sometimes they would gather together, and many times they would use the water escape technique to hide their tracks.
In the end, the three of them met at a small lake about two hundred li north of Mirror Iron Mountain.
Wang Shouye asked, "Daoyuan, what should we do next?"
Wang Daoyuan replied, "There's an underground river next to the cave. The upper reaches should be in this area. I used the Earth Escape Technique to burrow into the ground, found the underground river, and followed it."
The three of them searched the nearby underground. Perhaps it was because the three of them cultivated water attribute cultivation techniques, they were sensitive to water spiritual energy. Soon, they found the location of the underground river.
After entering the underground river, it would be difficult for even a Golden Core cultivator to detect the depth of several hundred feet. The three of them naturally did not need to conceal their presence. They advanced at full speed in the underground river.
Wang Daoyuan's cultivation base was much lower than the two of them. He could only use the Spirit Travel Talisman and follow closely behind.
In less than a quarter of an hour, the three of them arrived at the entrance of the underground cave.
Wang Zhian pointed to the stone wall and asked, "Daoyuan, this is the entrance of the cave?"
Wang Daoyuan nodded and said, "It's here. You need to use the bead that controls the formation to open it."
"This person really is a formation genius. He can actually hide a cave with a second level low grade spirit spring without leaking any presence.
If not for Daoyuan leading the way, I would not have been able to find the cave. "Wang Zhian said emotionally.
Wang Daoyuan took out the bead that controls the formation. Under the activation of spirit energy, a hole appeared in the stone wall. The three of them entered the cave. Wang Zhian and Wang Shouye walked directly to the spirit spring.
Wang Zhian closed his eyes and sensed for a while, saying, "It is indeed a second level low grade spirit spring. Moreover, this spirit spring has not been formed for long, only a thousand years. There is still a lot of room for growth.
Just this spirit spring alone is enough to become the foundation of a foundation establishment clan. "
Finished speaking, he went to look at the spirit field, the pond, and the Jade Butterfly Orchid by the water's edge. He swept his gaze over the entire Immortal's Cave and said, "Sure enough, Daoyuan's words were true. This Immortal's Cave is enough to accommodate an early-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator and over thirty Qi Condensation cultivators."
At this time, Wang Daoyuan took out two jade slips and said, "This is the evil cultivator's cultivation method, as well as his understanding of formations. This understanding of formations can be said to be the inheritance of a second level high grade formation master.
That evil cultivator also has an enemy at the peak of foundation establishment. Moreover, that enemy's strength is comparable to an early Zifu stage cultivator.
If this were to leak out, our Wang clan would probably be annihilated.
Therefore, I did not dare to hand these two jade slips over to the Hidden Scriptures Tower. Here, the news will not leak out. "
Wang Daoyuan had already made a copy of the jade slip that recorded his understanding of formations. As for the Gold Fury Art, he had no use for it, so he did not make a copy.
Wang Zhian took the jade slip and scanned it with his spiritual sense, saying, "Daoyuan is indeed meticulous. You have thought of everything so thoroughly. Thus, I am also relieved.
Since this cave was discovered by you, and the magic tool controlling the formation has already recognized you as its master, this cave will be handed over to you to manage. All the elders have also agreed.
According to the clan's rules, if a clan member discovers an ore vein or spirit vein outside of the clan's territory, thirty percent will go to the discoverer. If it is outside of the clan's territory, fifty percent will go to the discoverer.
This cave is within the clan's territory. In the future, thirty percent of the cave's harvest will go to you.
In addition, only the clan leader can know the exact location of this cave. You are not allowed to tell anyone else. "
Hearing the clan leader's arrangement, Wang Daoyuan hurriedly declined, "Clan Leader, this cave is the clan's backup shelter. If the situation is unfavorable in the future, this cave will be the clan's place to settle down. It is not something an ore vein or spirit vein can compare to. How can I take a share here?"
Wang Zhian smiled and said, "All the elders are well aware that you are wholeheartedly doing this for the clan. However, there are not only one or two people in the clan. If there is something good, you can use it or I can use it.
There are dozens of cultivators in the clan and more than a hundred thousand ordinary people. If so many people are not properly managed, there will definitely be chaos.
Since there are rules, everyone should abide by them. You don't want a share because it is for the clan's good, but it is also breaking the clan's rules.
If you don't take a share today, there may be clansmen who discover an ore vein or spirit vein tomorrow and feel that there is no profit in giving it to the clan. They may hide it for their own benefit or even sell the information to outsiders. At that time, the clan will be the one to suffer losses.
You are worried that the situation will change in the future and the clan will need to rely on this cave to survive. Who knows when that will happen? If that day really comes, then we can talk about changing the share. "
The clan leader's words were reasonable and well-founded. Wang Daoyuan also couldn't refute it.
He didn't want the income from this cave mainly because he really didn't care about it. There was no need to fight with the clan.
However, since the clan had rules, then he would do his best to help the clan within the clan's rules.
