At noon, the scorching sun was in the sky.

In a spacious and bright hall, a banquet table was set up. Wang Changsheng was sitting at the main seat, accompanied by members of the Wang clan of the Qing generation.

"Uncle Jiu, this is the Golden Ridge saury that was just caught from the river. I don't know what flavor you like. It is available steamed or braised. There is also this Jade Chicken, which has been fed with rice since I was a child. It tastes good, and this roast duck. , ducks grew up drinking well water and eating rice, and their meat is fresh and tender." Wang Qingshan introduced enthusiastically, with a smile on his face.

"Yes! Uncle Jiu, this jade soup is made from the freshest bamboo shoots. It is sweet and delicious."

"And this ginseng stewed pigeon is also a specialty of our Qingshi Town."

The elders of the Qing generation spoke one after another and introduced Wang Changsheng to the dishes on the table.

"Okay, okay, I'll eat what I want. Don't just watch me eat. You don't have to be too restrained. Just drink when you need to." Wang Changsheng waved his hand and ordered.

The clan elders agreed one after another, but they agreed verbally and rarely moved their chopsticks.

It was rare to have dinner with Wang Changsheng, so they naturally had to be careful in serving him, and how could they dare to be too casual.

They all want to please Wang Changsheng so that they can take their juniors with them and seek a greater future.

"Uncle Ninth, no good, something big has happened." At this moment, a somewhat urgent voice sounded.

Wang Qiusheng rushed in angrily, followed by several Wang clan members of the Qiu generation.

"What's going on? Another clan member was killed?" Wang Changsheng put down his chopsticks and asked in a deep voice.

"Yes, a corpse was found in the quarry. It was bitten to death by a zombie. The deceased's name was Wang Youliang and he had been working in the quarry." Wang Qiusheng nodded and told the whole story.

"Wang Youliang? Didn't I ask all the clan members to leave the quarry? Why are there still people stranded there? Who manages this quarry?" Wang Changsheng asked seriously.

A tall middle-aged man took two steps forward and said respectfully: "My grandson, Wang Qiu, has just met Uncle Jiu. The quarry is under my control. According to Uncle Nine's instructions, all the clan members evacuated the quarry yesterday. But for some reason, Wang Youliang sneaked back to the quarry last night and was bitten to death by a zombie."

"Where is this quarry? The bodies haven't been burned yet!"

"More than thirty miles east of the town, the body has not been burned yet. I asked people to keep a close eye on the body and did not rummage through it."

Wang Changsheng stood up and ordered: "Qiu Sheng, Qiu Cai, you two come with me, Qingshan, I remember there is a quarry, first withdraw all the clan members, before the zombies are completely eliminated, all Clan members are not allowed to leave Qingshi Town without permission, and violators will be severely punished."

"Yes, Uncle Jiu, my nephew will give the orders right now."

Wang Changsheng's lips moved slightly, and a white cloud appeared out of thin air. Wang Qiusheng pulled Wang Qiucai and walked up.

White clouds slowly rose into the sky and flew towards the east.

Less than half an hour later, Wang Changsheng appeared in a giant canyon. The canyon was surrounded by mountains. There was a large amount of gravel scattered on the ground, and there were obvious signs of fire on the surrounding peaks.

There is a peak of three to four hundred feet high not far away. At the foot of the mountain are dozens of people with the surname Wang gathered. There are obvious traces of calcination on the left side of the foot of the mountain. There are many huge bluestones mined nearby.

Under the guidance of Wang Qiucai, Wang Changsheng soon saw a corpse with two bloody holes in its neck.

"Uncle Jiu, I originally thought that the zombies had been eliminated. We returned to the quarry this morning and planned to quarry. As soon as we arrived at the quarry, we found Wang Youliang's body." Wang Qiucai told the details.

Wang Changsheng noticed carefully that Wang Youliang's chest was bulging, as if there was something there.

He took out a fist-sized cyan stone from Wang Youliang's arms. At first glance, there was nothing special about it, but if you looked closely, you could see that there was a faint golden light emitting from the surface of the stone, as if there was some metal mixed in it.

"Is this gold? Is there a gold mine in this quarry?" Wang Changsheng suddenly realized and asked Wang Qiucai.

"This is not gold, and we don't know what it is. It won't melt even if you put it in the furnace for a long time, and it's useless to chop it with a knife." Wang Qiucai shook his head and said.

Wang Changsheng turned his eyes and asked, "Was this stone collected here?"

"Yes, I just found it a few days ago. I thought it was gold at first, but after burning it in the furnace for a long time, the stone was intact. The third uncle sent Qiu Mao to the county town to invite a jade master, but he didn't see what it was. thing."

"Take me to the place where this stone was found, and burn the body immediately."

Wang Qiucai ordered two tribesmen to burn the body, and he personally took Wang Changsheng to the stone wall on the right side at the foot of the mountain.

The stone wall was pitch black and had obviously been burned by fire. Under the sunlight, bursts of golden light were faintly emitted.

"Disband the tribesmen and let them go back. Also, if anyone has this kind of stone in their hands, let them hand it over immediately. If they dare to hide it secretly, they will be severely punished." Wang Changsheng solemnly ordered.

Wang Qiucai rolled his eyes and asked cautiously: "Nine Uncles, is this something used by immortals?"

"Don't ask if you shouldn't ask. If it is really something used by cultivators, I can transfer you back to the master's house to work. Before that, be strict with your words. In addition, gather all the clan members in the quarry and prevent them from contacting outsiders. This matter is the top secret of our Wang family, and anyone who leaks it will be severely punished."

"Yes, Uncle Nine, I'll do it right away." Wang Qiucai agreed and turned to leave.

"Qiu Sheng, you go along and send the clan members away. No one is allowed to stay here."

Wang Qiusheng responded, turned and left.

After all the Wang family members left, Wang Changsheng raised his hands, and two feet-long crystal ice picks flew out and hit the golden stone wall.

With two soft sounds, the two ice picks shattered, and a patch of white frost appeared on the stone wall.

Wang Changsheng was so happy that he took out his money sword and struck it on the stone wall.

A "clang" sound was heard as gold and iron collided, and the blade of the money sword sank into the stone wall and Cunxu was blocked.

"Sure enough, I guessed right. This is Xuanjin. I don't know how big it is." Wang Changsheng said in an inaudible voice, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

Black gold is a commonly used metal in the world of immortality. It is a first-level low-grade weapon refining material and is often used to refine swords and other spiritual weapons.

One pound of black gold is worth thirty spiritual stones on the market. If it is refined into a spiritual weapon, the price will be even higher.

This quarry actually contained black gold, a metal ore commonly used in the world of immortality. It was beyond Wang Changsheng's expectation. He didn't know how big the black gold vein was.

But it doesn’t take much, even if it’s only a hundred kilograms, it can be sold for three thousand spiritual stones, which is a huge sum for the Wang family.

The Wang family is currently trying to increase revenue and reduce expenditure, but they are short of spiritual stones! With this black gold vein, the Wang family will definitely be able to overcome the current difficulties. If the black gold vein is relatively large, it may be an opportunity for the Wang family to rise.

Wang Changsheng calmed down his excitement and looked at the golden stone wall, his expression uncertain for a while.

To be honest, after confirming that this was Xuanjin, Wang Changsheng's first thought was not to report it to his family, but to keep the Xuanjin for himself.

Everyone has selfish motives, and Wang Changsheng is no exception.

If he monopolizes these profound gold in exchange for immortal cultivation resources, his cultivation speed will be much faster. If the amount of profound gold is large enough, it will not be a problem for him to cultivate to the ninth level of Qi refining.

Wang Changsheng was in a state of confusion. On one side was his family who could not make ends meet, and on the other was himself who was slow in cultivation.

The family treated him well. His mother gave him resources for cultivating immortals every year. His cousin gave him a spiritual egg that he was reluctant to eat. Before leaving the family, his sixth uncle gave him several first-level low-grade talisman seals. His father used them for himself. She gave him the money sword for self-defense, her mother gave him the Feitian Talisman that she had treasured for many years to save his life, and the fifth uncle gave him three Qi Refining Pills.

When Wang Changsheng thought about how kind his relatives were to him, he felt extremely ashamed of his selfishness.
