Volume 1 Three Chi Qingfeng Sword in Hand Chapter 31: Pulse Crystal Ore Mine

  Qingshan Lake, this land exists because of it, with tens of thousands of branches stretching for thousands of miles, mountain ranges towering, and hundreds of millions of acres of mineral veins, most of which are occupied by the Qingshan sect, only a small number of low-grade minerals are divided among other families.

  On the tenth day after Yun Yi Jian appeared at Ye Jia, the eldest son of Ye Jia hastened to the inner temple of the family, paid his respects to Ye Qing, and immediately convened an emergency meeting.

  Four elderly men of the Ye family, along with twenty-three direct descendants, had somber expressions as they looked at Ye Qing, awaiting orders.

  "Just now, Ye Kuang came to report that a vein of crystal stone was discovered in the barren mountain within our Night House's territory. The quality is medium and the output is extremely large. I've invited everyone here today to discuss how to secretly mine the crystal stone without letting Qing Shan Sect find out!" Ye Qing said after a moment of contemplation.

  Pulse Crystal, is the most needed item in the Holy Land. Low-grade Pulse Crystals need to be refined, and ordinary forces find it difficult to extract the essence of Pulse Crystals. Mid-grade or higher Pulse Crystals can be directly absorbed by strong practitioners with a unified body pulse for cultivation purposes. However, resources are extremely hard to come by, and even if found, they will be reclaimed by the Holy Land!

  If there is a medium-grade crystal mine, maintaining Night House for ten years will only take five years, and then Night House can rival Qing Shan Lake!

  Pulsating Crystal! Mid-grade Pulsating Crystal!

  The sentence exploded in everyone's heart, exciting, stirring, and filling the entire hall.

  "We secretly excavate once a month, and we twenty-three brothers do it ourselves. What does Eldest Brother think?" Night House Fourth excitedly stood up and said.

  The second generation of Night House were all strong individuals with a unified pulse, and they could all absorb the essence of mid-grade Pulse Crystals. When they heard this news, it was hard for them not to lose control of their emotions.

  "It won't do, if we were to move all of our troops there, it would definitely attract the attention of Qing Shan Sect. In the end, it would be a futile effort and might even offend Qing Shan Sect!" Another middle-aged man stood up and said in a low voice.

  "Oh? Old Seven, what's your take on this?" Ye Qing glanced at the middle-aged man with a faint smile.

  Lao Qi Ye Shui Yun is the Zhì Duō Xīng of the Night Family, most of the time important matters are decided by him, even Ye Qing thinks highly of him and considers him to be the successor of the Night Family.

  Ye Shuiyun fell into deep contemplation, this matter related to whether the Ye family could rise to great heights, and even more so to the life and death of the Ye family. If they were to offend Qing Shan Sect, not even ten Ye families would be enough for Qing Shan Sect's law enforcement army to take down in one wave.

  "I think the first step is to stabilize Qing Shan Sect, then openly send Zi Yue to Qing Shan Sect, attracting the attention of various scouts from Qing Shan Sect, so that they are off guard. Then we can enter that desolate mountain in batches." Ye Shui Yun said thoughtfully after a moment of silence.

  As soon as this was said, Ye Zi Yue's father, Ye Qing Kuang, had an icy expression, but he couldn't do anything about it. Ye Zi Yue's engagement was not up to him to decide, her talent was destined to become the dual cultivation partner of Qing Shan Zong's young master, otherwise she could only become a furnace vessel, and her fate would be even more miserable.

  "What a pity for Zi Yue's talent! Otherwise, after many years, she would have been able to achieve the highest position even if she couldn't become the emperor!"

  He let out a soft sigh in the dark of night.

  "There's no gain without loss! In this world where martial prowess is revered, becoming a strong person and expanding the family clan means nothing can't be sacrificed, let alone a mere woman! No matter how talented she may be, in the end she'll still have to marry someone. Third Brother, don't blame me for speaking directly, I just want you to understand that this vein of crystal stone is an extremely important matter for our Night Clan!"

  Ye Shui Yun gazed at Ye Qing Kuang and said in a condensed voice.

  "I understand, the honor of the Night House is above all else!" Ye Qingkuang's voice was somewhat dull, he stood up and said, "You discuss it first, then just tell me the result!"

  The night chose to leave quietly, unable to change the outcome, and could only silently accept it.

  Ye Qingkong stepped out of the Ye house at night, avoiding the gaze of the crowd, and rushed straight to the desolate mountain. Although it was called a desolate mountain, it didn't mean that it was barren. Towering trees blocked out the sky, gorges stretched up to the heavens, low-level demonic beasts howled incessantly, and various flying birds flapped their wings in the vast expanse of air.

  This is the territory of the Night House, where people are scarce at ordinary times, and very few people come here because it has no value at all.

  Ye Qingkuang quietly entered the depths of the desolate mountain and found a checkpoint being guarded by four or five Ye Jia disciples, whereupon he walked forward.

  "Third Master, how did you come?" a young man said with a bow.

  "Let's take a look, where is the Pulse Crystal Mine?" Ye Qingxuan asked calmly.

  "Third Master is coming with me, just behind!"

  The young man bypassed several obstacles and came to a mountain valley, where there was no grass growing, rocks piled up like mountains, and even low-grade ore could be seen on the ground.

  Gently pry open a pile of stones, and find a large number of vein crystals inside. There are some with very low quality, and some with relatively high quality, but overall, the proportion of low-grade vein crystals is 60%.

  Having seen these pulse crystals, this valley is enormous beyond compare. Even if only four-tenths of the middle-grade pulse crystals are taken, it's an astronomical figure that can't be ignored by Ye Qingkuang.

  "Maybe marrying into the Qing Shan family isn't a bad thing after all. At least I'll have no worries about food and clothing, and I'll be above everyone else!"

  Ye Qingkuang muttered to himself and left with a few pieces of pulse crystal.

  At night, the conference hall was still discussing specific matters, but they didn't know that all their topics were being listened to by someone.

  In Ye Ziyue's boudoir, Ye Ziyue's eyes were filled with panic as she stared at the majestic man standing before her, his every gaze exuding an aura of authority, a superior being that commanded reverence from all under heaven.

  Yun Yijian, who was in a dream, felt that his divine consciousness could hear sounds from thousands of miles away. He heard some conversations in the council hall and suddenly woke up.

  "Who are you? Where is this place?" Yun Yijian sat on the bed, scanning the surroundings with a keen eye, and asked in a low voice.

  "I am Yeziyue, this is Qing Shan Hu..." Yeziyue said in a low voice, not daring to look directly.

  Yun Yijian was just about to get up when he found himself stark naked. He was startled and exclaimed, "Where are my clothes? And what about that bone sword?"

  "You... you didn't have any clothes, I picked you up and they were all tattered and wet. I threw them away in the back mountain and burned them this morning." Yeziyue hastily retreated and accepted, "Your bone sword is under the bed, I didn't touch anything else!"

  "Was it you who saved me? Which state does this place belong to? How far is it from Qingzhou? Or is it far from Zhongzhou?" Yun Yijian's brain was like a bomb, and many things rushed into his mind like paste.

  "It was I who saved you, when you fell from the sky, I thought you were dead for sure, didn't expect you to recover so quickly!" Yeziyue paused and said, "Besides, this is Qing Shan Lake, never heard of any Qingzhou or Zhongzhou."

  The more Yu Xiu Jian explained, the more confused he became. It was hard to clarify his current state, so he simply said, "Trouble you to find me a set of fitting clothes."

  "I'll go get some clothes for you to wear, brother. Don't mind." Ye Ziyue said with her head down, not daring to look directly at him.

  "It's okay, you go get it, I'll put on some clothes and buy it myself." Yun Yijian said calmly.
