Chapter 225 Idle mines for personal use
"60 or so." The other party was obviously a little relieved.
"It's still a bit high." said Chen Lang.
"Then how much do you want to open?" the other party asked.
Chen Lang thought it might be possible, so he said, "To be honest, I'm short of money right now. I don't have any spirit stones."
There was silence in response to him.
"But I have a mine, and I don't know if I can use it as collateral." Chen Lang said again.
"mine?"
The other party's voice was somewhat surprised, "Which sect controls this? This thing is not easy to mortgage."
Most of the spirit stone mines in the world are controlled by various sects or major forces. They are private property and are easy to buy and sell.
"For personal use, not in use." Chen Lang replied.
The other party was silent for a moment, "What's your name? Where is it?"
"In the Tianjian Sect's territory, Yanxi Mine."
Beside him, Zhong Sheng looked at Chen Lang in surprise. How could he not know about Yanxi Mine? That was a large mine of the Tianjian Sect, not Chen Lang's private property.
"A mine is not worth much money, and I can't take it away." The other party didn't seem to care.
"It should be worth some money. It can produce one or two million spirit stones a year. If I wasn't short of money, I wouldn't sell it easily." Chen Lang sighed.
"How do you prove it's yours?"
"I have the property rights and documents. When the time comes, I will remove all the people and you can take over it yourself." Chen Lang said.
"Let me think."
The other party was still considering it, but soon responded, "Okay, I'll take care of the order first, and then we'll pay and get the goods."
……
A woman put down her communication device.
Her eyes were bright and full of excitement.
Mine! A mine that produces one to two million spirit stones per year!
Isn't this a good deal?
She estimated that the maximum cost for her to get that set of goods would be only three or five hundred thousand spirit stones.
"This guy seems to be an elder of the Tianjian Sect. I heard that the Tianjian Sect has been unstable recently. It seems to be true. This is a great bargain."
She was very satisfied with this. This great alliance of sects and the encirclement and suppression of the Pingtian Sect also meant that the territory would be redivided. There would be a period of chaos and turmoil during this period, and the mines in remote areas would be out of control.
She guessed that the person opposite was worried that she could not control it and was in a hurry to transfer it. She had no intention of holding it for a long time, but if the mine really produced one or two million spirit stones a year, she would get her investment back in three or four months, breaking even in half a year and making huge profits in a year!
After putting down the communication device, Zhong Sheng looked at Chen Lang in disbelief.
"You'll lose your credibility if you do this."
Can the mine be sold? How can it be sold?
Let’s make an assumption. If a mine of the Tianjian Sect falls, the Law Hall will send people to reclaim it within a month at the latest. If they cannot reclaim it, the elders will go.
"Is credit valuable?" Chen Lang asked.
Zhong Sheng said, "Of course!"
Tianluo is a behind-the-scenes trading organization. Members do not know each other and have low trust. Credit is the capital for survival.
"That's right, isn't money meant to be spent?" said Chen Lang.
Zhong Sheng stood there. He felt that it seemed to be true, but he also felt that something was wrong.
But that's my fucking credit!
……
After the discussion, Chen Lang began to prepare for the mine.
He was originally the mountain owner in that area, and he earned hundreds of thousands of spirit stones every year, which was not a small amount, but his expenses were high. This kind of thing lacked replicability, and how many mines he could own depended on his cultivation and whether he could control them. Therefore, one or two mines were meaningless, and it was better to rob them to make money quickly.
In addition, he is now a disciple of the Heavenly Ranking, performing half the position of an elder and having corresponding powers. He can execute any decision first and then report it. This is very important, otherwise it probably won't be sold.
By the way, it seems that the mine has arranged a few acquaintances? Never mind.
Two days later, he completed the mine handover procedures, negotiated with the other party again, found a meeting place, and finalized the date.
During this period, some things also happened in the Tianjian Sect.
A secret document arrived at the sect and landed in the hands of Elder Shi.
Elder Shi checked it briefly and handed it to his last disciple Li Rui.
"Take it. The goods this time are pretty good. There are some ancient immortal remnants. You should pay attention to them when the time comes. It would be best if you can get them." Elder Shi said.
Li Rui looked at it and saw a list with many names on it. Each name was followed by a detailed introduction, all of which were evidence of guilt.
"Thank you, Master." Li Rui bowed.
He took this kind of job purely as a benefit. It was called a joint action among the sects, but in fact it was just a joint effort to accept the surrender of that group of people.
It can't be considered surrender, it can only be considered as amnesty. After all, the Pingtian Sect has committed many evil things and robbed so many things over the years. How can it be so easy to get ashore easily? Things that should be spit out must be spit out.
If they are unwilling to cooperate, then we can only reason with them.
"No thanks. Go ahead. We have secured five places this time. You can give the list to them and distribute it among yourselves." Elder Shi waved his hand casually. This list was very valuable, worth more than one million spirit stones, and might even contain priceless items, but he was not as stingy as before.
He is different from other elders. He has no family or descendants, so those things that are of no use are generally left to his disciples.
Li Rui took the list and divided it roughly equally. They had no idea what the other party would spit out, so they still had to rely on some luck.
There are five people from the Tianjian Sect participating in this operation.
After Zhou Tianzheng, there is Zhou Yuanxing, Elder Qing’s disciple Wu Ya, him, Yan Xue’e from the Yan family, and finally Chen Lang.
The first few were generally fine, as they were all old acquaintances. He didn't like the one from the Yan family very much, but he had a particularly bad impression of the last one.
As early as when Chen Lang first came to the sect, he dared to steal his things and even used Zhong Haoran to talk to him.
This made him always dislike Chen Lang, but he was always out on missions and they rarely had any interactions, but there were few conflicts.
"You are a thief. I think it's unfair that you are not on the list. How can you be responsible for such a thing? Solve it yourself." Li Rui took a glance and burned one of the lists with a flame.
……
Three days passed quickly and the handover date arrived.
As requested, Chen Lang emptied the Yanxi Mine first. Half a day later, Tianluo's man arrived near the Tianjian Sect.
Chen Lang came to a forest according to the agreed location.
After a while, smoke rose and green fog covered the entire forest. A sedan chair floated out of the fog.
Chen Lang took out the foundation-building dematerialization device and found no response, which meant that the other party's cultivation was at the Golden Core level.
Then you can't rob it by force.
No one got out of the sedan, only a voice was heard, it sounded like a man, but the voice was gentle, "Tianluo Mingming."
"The underground network is deep and dark." Chen Lang said.
This is the organization's code, Zhong Sheng told him.
"Mine?" the other party asked again.
"Killing weapon." Chen Lang said.
"I have taken over the mine. Very good. I have brought you the things as well."
Then, a corner of the sedan chair was lifted up, and several dark green beads flew out.
