Chapter 174: Smooth and tactful
Since they were going to entertain fellow travelers, it was definitely not possible to have the party in Lin Changqing's room, which had been transformed into the Chen family's back garden.
When the two arrived, Chen Ziya had already made tea in the pavilion and was waiting for them.
After Liu Yuntao and Chen Ziya greeted each other, the three of them sat down in the pavilion, serving as host and guest.
"Senior Brother, Fellow Daoist Liu, please have some tea!" Chen Ziya brought a cup of tea to them.
"Thank you, Fairy Chen!" Liu Yuntao became even more respectful towards Chen Ziya. After all, he knew that she was an inner sect disciple of Qingyun Sect and represented Qingyun Sect to a certain extent in the outside world.
And there is a Jindan Zhenren behind him, so even though Tongshan Village is the territory of their Liu family, they still have to maintain the necessary attitude.
Fortunately, Liu Yuntao from the Liu family is obviously the one in charge of external affairs of the Liu family, and he is very adept at dealing with human relationships and worldly affairs.
He did not ask about the mine and the mineral veins right away, but instead drank tea and chatted with Lin Changqing.
Liu Yuntao also shared some local customs and practices, and even asked about the situation in Qingyun City. Fortunately, the questions were not too difficult and were all questions that both of them could answer.
There are also some things about the difficulties of Nan and the Liu family mixed in. He is considered a very versatile person.
After talking about this and that for more than an hour, Liu Yuntao finally got to the point and asked the most important question of this time.
He praised Lin Changqing, "I heard that it was Brother Lin who took action this time and rescued several nearby villages and many villagers. It's really a great deed!"
Lin Changqing chuckled and said, "Fellow Daoist Liu, you are too kind. The Lin family also left Tongshan Village. We came back this time and just happened to encounter it and solved it.
Moreover, many robbery cultivators escaped this time, and we don’t know whether they will come back in the future.
My junior sister and I can't stay here for too long, so we still have to rely on fellow Daoist Liu and the other fellow Daoists of the Liu family to take care of Tongshan Village!"
When Liu Yuntao heard Lin Changqing say that many Tribulation Cultivators had escaped, he frowned and asked hurriedly, "Fellow Daoist Lin, do you know how many Tribulation Cultivators had escaped?"
Lin Changqing had already thought of a way to deal with this question, and replied: "When I went in, I only saw two robbery cultivators.
I was very nervous at the time, thinking that if I was attacked by them from both sides, I would have no chance of winning, and I might even lose my life!
The only way at that time was to launch a surprise attack on one of them. If successful, it would be a one-on-one fight, and there might be a chance of winning.
So I used the protective trump card given to me by my family elders, the Yin Thunder Pearl. Fortunately, I was lucky enough to kill a robbery cultivator on the spot.
The other one heard the thunder and rushed towards me, but he only fought with me for a while and then retreated on his own for some reason.
I quickly called all the villagers out and told them that I had dealt with all the robbers. That was just to reassure them, and then I took them back to Tongshan Village overnight.
However, I heard from the villagers that there seemed to be six robbery repairers in total, but for some reason, I only met two of them that day.
The remaining four people have not met each other yet! At that time, we did not dare to stay in there for long, because we were afraid that the robber who left would gather his accomplices and return to the mine again, and then we would not be able to leave. "
When Liu Yuntao heard that there were six Tribulation Cultivators in total, and that five of them had escaped, his head began to ache.
When the time comes, the two of them will just pack up and leave, and the Liu family will have to stay here to clean up this mess.
He sighed and continued, "I heard that the villagers were captured by them to mine?"
Lin Changqing nodded and said, "That place is indeed a mine, but I went in to check the specific situation inside.
I didn't understand anything about it. After all, I didn't know much about mineral veins, so I didn't waste my time there.
The main reason was that I didn't dare to waste too much time, but I still found some ores in the storage bag of that robber.
After discussion and identification by my junior sister and I, we believe it should be the ore of the Red Fire Copper Mine."
After saying that, he took out a piece of ore from his storage bag and handed it to Liu Yuntao.
Liu Yuntao took it in his hand and turned it over and over to examine it carefully. He even took out a magic weapon from his storage bag to test it. In the end, he agreed with the two of them that it should be the Red Refining Fire Copper Ore.
This time Liu Yuntao was a little excited. Even if this vein was a micro vein, he would collect all of it and exchange it for spirit stones at Wanbao Pavilion.
At least I can buy two or three foundation-building pills! Could this be my chance to advance to the foundation-building stage?
I quickly continued to ask, "Fellow Daoist Lin, where is the mine? I'll go take a look. If any robbers come back, we can prepare early to avoid being caught off guard by them."
Seeing Liu Yuntao's impatient look, Lin Changqing and Chen Ziya looked at each other, and Chen Ziya couldn't help wanting to laugh.
Lin Changqing also saw the smile on her face, and quickly spoke to attract Liu Yuntao, saying, "Friend Liu, I can tell you the approximate location, but you must be careful!
If it's impossible, we should retreat first. It's better to find a few more people to go together. I think this is the safest way. "
Liu Yuntao nodded repeatedly and said, "Fellow Daoist Lin, what you said makes sense. I will observe from a distance first. If there are too many returning Tribulation Cultivators, I will have to ask the two Daoists to help me then."
Lin Changqing nodded and said, "The mine is about thirty or forty miles southeast of Tongshan Village. If you look carefully, you should be able to find it.
Fellow Daoist Liu, you can go and observe the situation first! If you really need me to take action, although my cultivation is not high, it will not be a problem for me to hold back a Tribulation Cultivator.
But my sister is not good at fighting, so she may not be able to help when the time comes. I hope you can forgive me for this, Brother Liu."
When Liu Yuntao heard Lin Changqing say this, he knew that he couldn't force it. He then chatted with Lin Changqing and the others for a few more words before saying goodbye and leaving. It seemed that he was indeed a little impatient.
After he walked away, Chen Ziya couldn't help laughing anymore and started to giggle.
He said to Lin Changqing: "Brother, I see that Fellow Daoist Liu is very impatient. I wonder what his expression will be when he finds the place and sees it has become a ruin."
What Chen Ziya said was true. It really has become a ruin. Lin Changliu came back two days ago. There must be nothing left inside. Not even any slag is left for them.
Lin Changqing thought for a moment and said seriously: "When Fellow Daoist Liu arrives and sees that all the Tribulation Cultivators have left, he will probably be very happy!
There is no time to come to us again. He must find a way to clean up the mine first.
Then after all the hard work, they only managed to dig up a tiny bit of ore. They would probably curse those robbers!"
After hearing this, Chen Ziya couldn't help but burst into laughter when she thought that it was really possible that it was as Lin Changqing said.
Fortunately, Chen Ziya smiled and moved on. Afterwards, the two of them no longer discussed the issue of the Red Copper Mine.
The two leaned against each other again and chatted for a while before Chen Ziya went back.
Lin Changqing estimated that Liu Yuntao would still go and question the rescued villagers, and by then he would definitely know that the mineral vein had actually been almost mined out.
They would only think that all the mineral veins had been mined and taken away by the robbers, but naturally they would not have expected that all the ore would eventually fall into Lin Changqing's hands.
The matter about the Chilian Fire Copper Mine came to an end, and Lin Changqing returned to his yard.
Looking under the eaves, there is a huge nest. That is the bridal chamber that Chuyi and his wife spent a whole day building.
The two sides have been slowly getting in touch over the past few days, and Chuyi's wife is no longer so resistant to Lin Changqing, and at least allows Lin Changqing to get close to her.
But it is still some distance away from close contact, like letting Lin Changqing stroke and smooth its fur, and this is already the effect of taking one or two Soul-Nourishing Pills a day, plus feeding it with monster meat.
Anyway, he has already settled down and can be considered his own bird. Lin Changqing is not in a hurry. He thinks that after spending more time together, they will build up trust with each other.
And the most important thing is, there is still the bond of the first grade, it definitely can't escape.
But there is still a problem. He had promised the tribe at that time that he would hand over Chuyi and his descendants to the tribe. I wonder if Chuyi and his wife would agree to that at that time?
Forget it, let’s wait until the baby in the first grade is born before we discuss this issue!
