Chapter 1926 Uninvited Guest
Now the development of the Su family has inexplicably entered the fast lane.
This kind of development path cannot be learned at all. It feels like a pig standing in the wind.
Not to mention others, even the Yan family was jealous when looking at this piece of land: This family really dares to gamble.
However, although they were jealous, they really didn't dare to make any rash plans.
Not to mention forced buying or selling, they don't even have the guts to buy it back at a high price.
After all, the Su family moved out from Hongye Ridge. Although it was a wrong choice, they were cooperative enough.
So Hongyeling took care of them and helped them solve some problems.
The Yan family was aware of these causes and effects. Even if the Su family did not have a single cultivator, they would not risk reclaiming that land.
To be honest, if a traveler occasionally drinks too much and causes trouble in Sujia Village, the cultivators of the Yan family will find out and will definitely suppress him immediately.
In theory, there is no need for them to curry favor with them, after all, it is just a village of mortals.
But there is no way, I have to take it seriously. What if Hongye Ling thinks that the person causing trouble was arranged by the Yan family, then there will be big trouble.
Under such circumstances, Sujia Village developed rapidly like a rocket.
On this day, a group of people came to Sujia Village, including men and women, totaling more than 30 people.
The Su family members came up immediately and said very apologetically: There are no empty rooms!
There are some simple tents for guests to rest.
They didn't even ask each other why they came, because... there was no need to ask!
It is impossible for the other party to pass by such a remote place unless they want to learn about Hongyeling or try to establish contact with the other party.
However, the man leading the other side said, "Make some room, we have our own business."
Okay...well, the Su family immediately lost their temper.
Two years ago, no one in the Su family knew what Xingzai was.
However, in recent years, they have come into contact with too many cultivators and have seen them twice.
I was quite surprised when I first saw it, but now... well, I'm still surprised, but I've been able to accept it.
Anyway, the Su family can't afford to offend such a guy, but there is no need to be too afraid.
You have the line, but behind us... we have Hongye Ridge, right?
The Su family quickly arranged a piece of open space for these people to rest and charged some fees.
Su Ye, as a parent, not only dares to gamble, but also has a good sense for economics. His attitude is that as long as you enter his territory, you must charge money.
The money collected is not much, gold or silver is fine, but if anyone doesn't want to pay, they can only live outside.
With Hongye Ridge behind him, he is not afraid of trouble, but he only earns the money he deserves.
It is precisely because the Su family knows how to restrain themselves and does not miss any opportunity that they have been able to develop to this extent in a short period of time.
The group threw a spirit stone to the Su family, and then released three buildings, each housing a golden elixir.
There were more than thirty people, and there were three of them. These people behaved in a very ostentatious manner.
Nothing happened that night. The next day, the three Jindan each brought some people and began to wander around Hongye Ridge.
In Sujia Village, they left five or six people to guard the residence and learn about the situation of the Su family.
Su Ye also knew that this group of people were not simple, so he sent his most well-behaved children to accompany them, just hoping that they would not cause any trouble.
As for what these people came here for, no one in the Su family asked - they just needed to earn the money honestly.
The three Jindan walked around Red Leaf Ridge for several days without feeling tired at all.
However, Hongyeling remained calm and no one came forward to find out what was going on.
In the end, the Yan family members who were in charge of patrolling nearby lost their patience - is this never going to end?
Although the other side has three Jindan, Hongye Ridge is next to them, so it is very convenient to call for support.
The Yan family has never asked Hongyeling for help, but they believe that asking for help will definitely be useful. This is the benefit of word of mouth.
A foundation-building cultivator from the Yan family came to ask for a meeting, wanting to know the other party's purpose - it's been ten days, what are you doing here?
His attitude was quite humble, and the other party also told him clearly: We are from the Zeng family, and we are here to explore the earth's veins.
The Zeng family is also one of the seven major families, and the current patriarch is one of the five deacons of the Cultivator Alliance.
The Zeng family is quite far away from the Yan family, and its presence in this area was very poor before. It is no wonder that the Yan family’s children did not know them.
But coming here to survey the earth veins...what the hell is this? The Yan family's foundation building was a little confused.
A Jindan from the Zeng family said that they heard that a fourth-level spiritual vein was discovered in Hongye Ridge, and they wanted to understand the composition of the spiritual vein.
There is a Yuanying True Immortal in Hongye Ridge, and it is not convenient for three Jindan to go there rashly, so they decided to get to know the situation in the surrounding area first.
The Yan family's foundation building was a little confused when they heard: A fourth-level spiritual vein was discovered in Hongye Ridge, what does it have to do with your Zeng family?
The Zeng family's sphere of influence has never been here, and it is impossible for them to seize the spiritual vein, so what are they surveying for?
Of course, the Yan family's foundation-building master couldn't ask the question so bluntly, but he still expressed his meaning in a tactful way.
However, Zeng family’s Jindan said indifferently: These things have nothing to do with you, so don’t ask too much.
Early the next morning, Yan Xuemin rushed over after hearing the news - he is Jindan, so they can always have an equal dialogue, right?
However, Zeng Jia Jindan's attitude remained the same, although it was a little more polite, but still stated: We have the right to explore.
It should be noted that the Yan family's sphere of influence is only tacitly approved by all major forces, and the Cultivator Alliance does not ask about it.
Strictly speaking, the Yan family's sale of Red Leaf Ridge did not obtain the approval of the Cultivator Alliance, which is between legal and illegal.
The Cultivator Alliance is only a loose alliance, not a very strict organization. Its main purpose is to maintain the basic order of the Dongsheng Continent.
In short, there is nothing wrong with the Zeng family’s answer.
Yan Xuemin felt a little helpless, but he really had no friendship with the other party and could not communicate further.
So after leaving, he went to Hongye Ridge and then returned to the Yan family.
The Zeng family surveyed the area for another seven or eight days and found that Hongyeling still had no response, so they had no choice but to take the initiative to ask for a meeting.
However, this time Hongyeling did not let them in at all.
A Jindan sent out his divine sense directly, "There is no friendship between you and me, sorry, I will not receive you!"
Flower Scorpion hates these kind of pretentious guys the most. If you want to visit, just come directly. Why are you pretending?
Zeng family's Jindan was a little helpless. They had been conducting surveys before just to attract Hongyeling's attention and have further communication.
In such contact, there is a question of who comes and who serves.
If the Zeng family doesn't want to pay a visit right away, doesn't that mean they are approving of something?
Unexpectedly, they did attract the attention of Hongyeling, but it triggered a negative reaction.
The Zeng family had no choice but to turn around and leave, looking for the Yan family to communicate again.
Yan Xuemin felt extremely happy, but he couldn't show it.
He could only say tactfully: There are real immortals on Hongye Ridge, you must first explain your purpose so that we can pass the message to them.
Zeng Jia Jindan could only state their purpose: they wanted to find the accompanying spiritual vein and see if they could carve out some more training areas.
Although Dongsheng is large, there are not many places suitable for cultivation, which is not conducive to increasing the number of cultivators.
To put it in a broader sense, the entire continent is preparing for the Second Tiger-Man War and is doing its best to develop resources for cultivation.
The fourth-level spiritual vein is the highest level in Dongsheng. When such a spiritual vein is formed, it is normal for companion spiritual veins to appear around it.
In fact, the second-level spiritual vein originally displayed by Hongye Ridge is itself a fourth-level companion vein.
Since there is already a second-level spiritual vein, will there be more second-level, or even... third-level spiritual veins?
However, Yan Xuemin was not moved by his words.
He said with a strange expression: If you are thinking about the secret pulse detection technique of Hongyeling, I advise you to be careful.
Zeng's Jindan was so angry that he almost jumped up: "We shouldn't look down on others like this! Does our Zeng family need this little thing?"
Now that Yan Xuemin has spoken out, he can naturally face the other party's anger.
He sneered and asked in return, since you don’t have such plans, what is the purpose of your roundabout operations?
Zeng family's Jindan then realized that their attempt to take the initiative might have caused such a serious misunderstanding.
So he said very frankly: Discovering a fourth-level spiritual vein and taking advantage of it is not something that has never happened before.
It’s better to say that I’m lucky enough than to say that my secret art of pulse detection is powerful. My Zeng family and the Cultivator Alliance also have pulse detection technology.
Yan Xuemin could also guess that this might be the truth.
After all, the Lingyin Li family had just returned with failure, and with the Zeng family's family wisdom, it was unlikely that they would continue to attack head-on.
What he said just now was certainly a possibility, but his main purpose was to disgust the other person.
Then Yan Xuemin went on to say, if that’s the case, then you can just explore, why are you looking for Hongye Ridge?
Zeng Jiajindan hesitated for a moment before saying: Isn't it a bit inappropriate that the people from Hongyeling bought the land at a very low price?
What he meant was that he suspected there might be a private transfer of benefits between the Yan family and Hongyeling!
Otherwise, the Yan family shouldn’t have been so calm when they learned that there was a fourth-level spiritual vein in Hongye Ridge.
The Cultivator Alliance can intervene in matters like this that harm the interests of all cultivators in Dongsheng, but it can also ignore it.
Yan Xuemin almost laughed out loud: I’ve seen people putting hats on others, but I’ve never seen anyone do it so wildly!
He said calmly: Then you can go directly to Hongyeling to investigate, why are you looking for my Yan family?
Zeng Jia Jindan replied, this is a serious matter, we should understand the situation before we come to your house, right?
Yan Xuemin sneered: So now... have you investigated it clearly?
In fact, he didn't believe what the other party said at all. If he had the authorization from the Cultivator Alliance, he should show the token.
The Zeng family did not expect that the Yan family would have this attitude.
In the end, they could only say angrily: In fact, we are looking for Hongyeling because we want to reach in-depth cooperation on the issue of local veins.
In other words, their previous exploration was intended to gain a thorough understanding of the situation so as to carry out comprehensive development of the associated earth veins.
Yan Xuemin still didn't believe it, so he asked in return, even if this happened, it should be presided over by the Li family of Cuiping Mountain, right?
The Yan family is considered a branch of the Li family. Even if there are many spiritual veins here, is it the Zeng family's turn to take action?
