291: Chapter 291 No More Waiting

Developing this top-tier spirit stone ore vein?

Jiang Chen didn't know much about such things.

However, the Great Lan Dynasty's strength was currently weak. Although his previous actions had caused a group of Heavenly Martial Realm experts to emerge in the Great Lan Dynasty, looking at the entire Lingcang Domain, it was completely insufficient.

After all, the Great Lan Dynasty had been suppressed for so many years, and many Geniuses and experts had been lost in the battles against Demons.

Now that the problem of the Demon Den was solved, and with resource channels and the like fully opened, higher quality medicinal herbs and Medicinal Pills could be brought into the Great Lan Dynasty.

In this way, the strength of the Great Lan Dynasty would rapidly increase in a short period of time.

One could say it was a case of accumulating strength to break through later.

Of course, to have faster and more stable development...

The Great Lan Dynasty must also connect to the current resources within the Lingcang Domain.

Cooperating with the Lin Family was also a very good method.

"Sure, you guys handle it."

Jiang Chen nodded and said.

Hearing Jiang Chen agree, Lin Batian and the others were all relieved.

Although their Lin Family had indeed seized the initiative, this matter also depended on whether the other party was willing. If the other party had other ideas, then the Lin Family would lose the opportunity.

After all, the Great Lan Dynasty needed the Lin Family, and the Lin Family needed this spirit stone ore vein even more!

"Haha, thank you, Great Hero Jiang!"

"According to the figures previously explored for this spirit stone ore vein of the Zhao Family, it can produce thirty million Low-Grade Spirit Stones, five hundred thousand Mid-Grade Spirit Stones, and nearly a thousand High-Grade Spirit Stones a year."

"However, the specific amount mined won't be known until construction actually begins."

"Our Lin Family will be responsible for excavation, preparation, and polishing. The Great Lan Dynasty only needs to send people to supervise. Our Lin Family will take twenty percent of the total output, and the rest will belong to you."

Lin Batian said.

Twenty percent?

Five hundred thousand Mid-Grade Spirit Stones were equivalent to fifty million Low-Grade Spirit Stones.

One thousand High-Grade Spirit Stones were also equivalent to ten million Low-Grade Spirit Stones.

Not even counting the premium on High-Grade Spirit Stones and Mid-Grade Spirit Stones...

In other words...

The annual output of this vein was equivalent to ninety million Low-Grade Spirit Stones!

Jiang Chen was also stunned by this quantity.

And the Lin Family was responsible for a series of tasks such as mining and excavation.

Taking only twenty percent was merely eighteen million.

After deducting costs and such, it was estimated that the Lin Family's final profit would only be around ten million Spirit Stones.

And the remaining Spirit Stones would all belong to the Great Lan Dynasty!

This business was simply too profitable.

After all, the transportation and polishing of the Spirit Stones would involve risks of loss, and a large number of people would have to be arranged to watch over it.

Although some major powers wouldn't dare to rob openly...

They would disguise themselves as bandits and the like; someone would definitely be envious if you earned so much.

So the losses involved were hard to state clearly.

After Lin Batian finished speaking...

Many members of the Lin Family held their breath, not daring to breathe, obviously waiting for Jiang Chen to speak.

As long as Jiang Chen nodded, their Lin Family could directly earn ten million Spirit Stones a year!

For the Lin Family, this was simply an unprecedented opportunity to soar to the sky.

Even the initial losses and capital investment were not a problem at all.

And ninety million Spirit Stones was just a conservative estimate.

Perhaps even more valuable things could be excavated inside.

Ordinary veins cannot produce High-Grade Spirit Stones; only this kind of top-tier spirit stone ore vein can have High-Grade Spirit Stones appear.

Now, the fate of the entire Lin Family was waiting for Jiang Chen to nod.

"No."

Jiang Chen spoke.

"No?"

When Lin Batian and the others heard this, their hearts suddenly trembled.

As expected, was it still too much?

They should have only asked for fifteen percent.

If it were only fifteen percent, although the income would decrease a lot, it could still maintain a profitable situation.

Immediately, Lin Batian prepared to speak and lower the ratio.

"Then we'll take fif—"

"Let's split it fifty-fifty. Your Lin Family is responsible for the mining, and there will definitely be a lot of trouble waiting for you."

"Moreover, if the Great Lan Dynasty is to transition into the Lingcang Domain, many places will need the help of your Lin Family."

Jiang Chen said.

Without the Lin Family's help, no matter how strong Jiang Chen's cultivation was, it would be impossible to mine the entire vein. At that time, it would only fall into the hands of others for cheap, and the Great Lan Dynasty wouldn't get any benefits from it.

So cooperating with the Lin Family was also very beneficial to the Great Lan Dynasty.

Jiang Chen thought to himself.

He couldn't let the Lin Family lose out too much.

Furthermore, the fact that the Lin Family could stand up directly when the Great Lan Dynasty was still weak was a friendship that was worth more than gold.

Although the Lin Family might have had their own motives, that didn't matter.

The key was to see what you do, not listen to what you say.

No matter how flowery your words were, they were useless.

Therefore, Jiang Chen felt this distribution ratio was too low.

"Huh?"

Everyone heard Jiang Chen's words.

They didn't snap out of it for a moment.

"Fifty-fifty?"

"Who gets fifty?"

"Wait, it seems to be the same."

So Jiang Chen didn't agree just now...

...was it actually because he felt their Lin Family was taking too little?

That was a deal worth tens of millions of Spirit Stones.

He just gave it away like that?

With just a few words, Jiang Chen gave away tens of millions of Spirit Stones?

No wonder Jiang Chen was so young yet possessed such cultivation; he was definitely not someone ordinary people could compare to, such magnanimity.

"No... no... this is too much."

Just as many Clan Elders of the Lin Family were ecstatic...

Lin Batian resolutely refused.

What should be taken can be taken, but what shouldn't be taken must definitely not be touched.

After all, the cooperation with Jiang Chen and the Great Lan Dynasty was not a one-time thing; there was a longer future ahead.

"Although my Lin Family is responsible for the excavation, in terms of confrontations at the expert level, we still need you."

"We need your reputation to hold down the fort."

Lin Batian said.

These words were quite honest.

After all, if there were no experts backing you up, no matter how much you said, it would be useless. If all the people in your entire vein were killed the next day, what could you do?

Eventually, after some back and forth between the two sides...

Lin Batian still couldn't win against Jiang Chen.

The Lin Family would take twenty-five percent.

Jiang Chen would take seventy-five percent.

"By the way, according to the rules of the Lingcang Domain, one-tenth of the output of this vein must be given to that Lingcang Domain Lord. For this part, our two families will each contribute half."

Lin Batian said.

What should be split should still be split.

"Oh? Lingcang Domain Lord?"

"I haven't gone to deal with him yet, and I have to pay him first?"

"There's no need to pay him."

When Jiang Chen heard the name of the Lingcang Domain Lord, his eyes instantly turned cold.

His Disciples had all died at Jiang Chen's hands.

So how could the Lingcang Domain Lord possibly let the matter rest?

Instead of waiting for the other party to be prepared, it was better to strike first.

"Forget it, I won't wait anymore."

"Where does the Lingcang Domain Lord live? I'll deal with him on the way; going back and forth is quite troublesome."
