Chapter 115 Family Letter

"My friend, I came to talk to you this time because I want to tell you something. The cooperation proposed before may not be implemented."

Zhou Daocheng frowned slightly and asked in confusion: "Why? Senior, once you subdue the soul-devouring ants and tame them into soul beasts, they will surely bring endless spiritual stones."

The leader of the Spirit Snake Sect shook his head and said: "It's not that I don't want to, but there are other reasons. The Qingshan Sect is likely to have a war."

"What?" Zhou Daocheng's pupils suddenly shrank, and thousands of thoughts surged into his mind.

The leader of the Spirit Snake Sect sighed slightly and said, "You may not know that the Qingshan Sect has discovered a spiritual stone vein, but the location of the spiritual mine is relatively sensitive. At the junction of the Qingshan Sect and the Lingding Sect, the two forces did not get along, so the Purple Mansion War broke out."

"It is said that an elder at the peak of the ninth level of the foundation building died in the Qingshan Sect, and the son of the leader of the Lingding Sect also died in this battle, causing the situation to deteriorate further."

"Now both sides are unwilling to give up, and there is a high probability that a large-scale war will occur. The Qingshan Sect has begun to recruit foundation building masters in the territory and hoard strategic resources such as elixirs, magic tools, talismans and formations."

"We in the Spirit Snake Sect have also received the news. After a while, I will be recruited to the Qingshan Sect, so we must not open a shop during this period, otherwise it will be very troublesome."

As soon as the leader of the Qingshan Sect finished talking, Zhou Daocheng frowned and said in his heart that it was troublesome.

The situation is indeed worse than he thought.

And if the situation is true, then they really can't open a shop under such circumstances.

First of all, the Spirit Snake Sect had already been recruited, and the leader of the Spirit Snake Sect had no choice but to participate in the war.

If the Soul Devouring Ants were exposed again, it might not be two foundation-building masters who would be recruited, but three.

As for Zhou Daocheng, the same is true. Once the formation is revealed now, it is very likely that it will be taken away by the Qingshan Sect in the name of war.

At that time, not only will he not be able to earn spiritual stones, but even Zhou Daocheng, the formation master, may have to participate in the war directly.

Moreover, in the case of the shock of the cultivation world, the economy of the market will also shrink across the board. Such an environment is not suitable for opening shops.

Many forces will not only not open shops, but may even shrink their forces and sell some unimportant shops to avoid being affected.

As a small and medium-sized force, facing the war between the Purple Mansion Sects, there is only one thing they can do - that is to find a place to hide and avoid being involved.

Zhou Daocheng pondered for a moment and asked, "So, how do you plan to deal with it, senior?"

The leader of the Spirit Snake Sect shook his head and said, "The Spirit Snake Sect is also a century-old sect. We can't escape this kind of call-up. We can only gather the sect's forces as much as possible. With the Soul Devouring Ants guarding the sect, I can leave with peace of mind."

Zhou Daocheng nodded silently. The foundation-building masters of the old forces are all exposed, and it is difficult to avoid this kind of call-up.

Relatively speaking, the situation of the Zhou family is much better. The foundation-building masters were killed, and the forces hid in the dark. They barely avoided the call-up of the Qingshan Sect, which was a blessing in disguise.

Suddenly, Zhou Daocheng's eyes lit up and he asked, "Senior, are you planning to shrink your forces? Then what will happen to this water-repellent stone station?"

Seeing Zhou Daocheng's expression, the leader of the Spirit Snake Sect raised his eyebrows and said, "This station is indeed a bit far away. We have considered evacuating it, but for the convenience of cooperation with you, we have not made a decision."

Nowadays, the formation cooperation with the Mountain and Sea Sect is a very important part of the Spirit Snake Sect, especially the last time they cooperated to hunt the Devouring Spirit Ant Queen, and they witnessed the power of the first-class top-grade formation.

Therefore, even if the water-repellent stone vein is not valuable and is very far away from the Spirit Snake Sect, no one has proposed to cancel this station.

Zhou Daocheng was also helpless in his heart. The existence of the Spirit Snake Sect will eventually affect the development of the valley.

So he said, "Senior, how about this? Our cooperation will continue, but I want to buy this water-repellent stone mine."

"Buy the water-repellent stone mine?"

The leader of the Spirit Snake Sect had a thoughtful look in his eyes, and asked tentatively, "Young friend, do you want to build an underwater cave?"

Zhou Daocheng said calmly, "I do have such a plan. Since it is a time of chaos, it is necessary to hide some things. Besides... the senior's residence is too close to me!"

Hearing this, the leader of the Spirit Snake Sect also smiled and probably understood what Zhou Daocheng meant.

On the one hand, the need for the water-repellent stone mine is needed, and on the other hand, the hope that the Spirit Snake Sect's residence will move away is another.

The more powerful the force, the stronger the sense of territory. Naturally, they do not want other forces to occupy their own residence. This is not a friendly relationship, but an aggressive intention.

So the leader of the Spirit Snake Sect thought for a while and took the initiative to say: "It was my negligence. In this case, how about exchanging a set of first-grade top-grade formations for this mineral vein?"

Zhou Daocheng frowned. If it was just an ordinary first-grade top-grade formation, it would be no problem to exchange this water-repellent stone mine, but if it was a fusion formation like the [Golden Spear Hundred Vine Formation], Zhou Daocheng would need to think about it.

After all, even he himself could not gather the formation materials required for the second set of [Golden Spear Hundred Vine Formation].

So after thinking about it, Zhou Daocheng said: "Okay, but the formation materials need to be provided by the senior."

"Is it the formation you used last time?"

"Yes."

"What materials do you need?"

"30 first-grade top-grade yellow thorn vines."

Although only 20 yellow thorn vines are needed, Zhou Daocheng still asked for 30 for safety reasons to prevent damage during the process of refining the formation plate.

At the same time, it is also to prevent the leader of the Spirit Snake Sect from knowing the specific materials required for the formation.

Although the two sides are currently close, we must be on guard.

The leader of the Spirit Snake Sect hesitated for a moment, but still agreed: "I will provide the materials. Can the formation be completed within two months?"

"Yes."

Two months, this is the leader of the Spirit Snake Sect preparing for the next war!

Once involved in the battle between the two major purple mansion forces, one may be crushed to pieces if he is not careful.

Even a strong man like the Spirit Snake Sect, who has a second-level spirit beast, is not sure of protecting himself, but if there is a formation to protect him, the survival rate will be greatly improved.

"Okay, when the formation plate is made, just give it to Han Ye. He will leave directly with the formation plate, and then the water-repellent stone mine will belong to you."

Zhou Daocheng nodded in agreement. This business can only make money and not lose money, so he naturally would not refuse.

And with sufficient water-repellent stones, his underwater cave plan can be implemented smoothly, and a safe cave can be built in troubled times.

...

Return to Bailin Lake at night.

Zhou Daocheng was about to practice, but found that Zhao Yunzhi had returned and handed him a letter.

"The head of the family asked me to bring it to you. He said that he needed to explain the recent situation of the family to you."

Zhou Daocheng was stunned for a moment, and then he couldn't help but smile bitterly: Tell me about the recent situation of the family?

The meaning is very obvious.

It seems that his grandfather is planning to force the issue and gradually hand over the family to the younger generations. Whether they are willing or not, they must start to take on many things.

After opening the envelope and recording some recent family situations, Zhou Daocheng frowned after carefully checking it.
