The difficult path of cultivation for a grassroots female practitioner

Xiao Han smiled and said, "Senior, you are too kind to me."

After she finished speaking, she winked at Jiang Xin, who immediately bowed again, "I am Jiang Xin, leader of the Loose Cultivator Alliance. I am honored to meet Senior Shui. Please take a seat."

Shui Qingling then looked at Jiang Xin, "It's great that you thought of gathering the independent cultivators together to form an independent cultivator alliance!"

Jiang Xin smiled and said, "Thank you for the compliment, Senior."

Shui Qingling sat down in the upper guest seat and then looked at the other people in the hall, "Who is the cultivator of the Peng family, and who is the head of the Wanfa Sect?"

The two of them hurriedly stepped out again, greeted each other again, and introduced themselves.

If any force can cultivate a Mahayana cultivator, this force will basically become a household name in the Yuantian Continent.

The Shui family is already an old aristocratic family. Now they have the Mahayana cultivator Shui Wuhen. The water rises and the boat rises. Whenever a cultivator from the Shui family appears, people will be more respectful to him.

What's more, Shui Qingling is a Void Refinement cultivator whose cultivation level is higher than anyone else here.

Shui Qingling said kindly, "I heard that you have a dispute with Xianyun Valley and the Loose Cultivator Alliance over a mine. I wonder what the dispute is about. Do you need me to make a judgment for everyone?"

In fact, ever since Shui Qingling introduced herself, Peng Li and Sect Leader Xue had already given up hope, so there was no way they would bring humiliation upon themselves at this moment.

Sect Leader Xue immediately smiled and said, "Previously, there was a misunderstanding between the Loose Cultivator Alliance and the Peng family because of this area. I was simply here to testify on behalf of the Loose Cultivator Alliance. Now that the misunderstanding has been resolved, there is no longer any dispute. From now on, the Centipede Mountains will be the territory of the Loose Cultivator Alliance. Any mineral veins discovered in the Centipede Mountains will of course belong to the Loose Cultivator Alliance."

Since he was unable to take possession of a part of the mineral vein and the other party's background was indeed too powerful, Master Xue immediately gave in and sold out the Peng family to clear his name.

Peng Li glared at Sect Leader Xue, but was unable to refute him.

There was no way. The old fox did support the Loose Cultivator Alliance at the beginning, but later he was attracted by the mineral vein and never ruined the relationship.

Seeing Shui Qingling's gaze turned towards him, he hurriedly bowed his head and said, "Thank you, Senior Shui, for making this trip. The misunderstanding here has indeed been resolved. From now on, this Centipede Mountain Range will belong to the Loose Cultivator Alliance."

There's no way, my arms are not as thick as my thighs, so I have to admit defeat when it's time to do so.

After saying that, he added something unnecessary, "We stayed here just to congratulate the establishment of the Loose Cultivator Alliance."

But as soon as the words came out of his mouth, he wished he could bite off his tongue.

Why did he say this? Not only did he fail to complete the task and obtain the mineral vein, but he also had to give away a gift.

Shui Qingling was very satisfied with the two people's ability to understand the current situation.

"I'm also here to congratulate the establishment of the Loose Cultivator Alliance." After saying that, he really took out a jade box and handed it to Jiang Xin.

This gift was naturally prepared by the head of the Shui family for Xiao Han's sake.

Jiang Xin accepted the jade box with surprise and thanked him repeatedly.

Now, the Loose Cultivator Alliance has both face and substance.

Upon seeing this, Sect Master Xue also hurriedly took out a jade box and handed it over, "This is a gift from the Wanfa Sect, congratulating the establishment of the Loose Cultivator Alliance!"

Jiang Xin also accepted the jade box and said with a smile: "The Loose Cultivator Alliance is next to the Wanfa Sect. We will need Sect Master Xue's care in the future."

Sect Leader Xue also smiled and said, "Master Jiang, you are too polite. From now on, our two families will help each other."

Seeing the two people talking and laughing, Peng Li wanted to turn around and leave.

But not only could he not leave, he also had to take out his own things as gifts. He really wanted to slap himself.

As a cultivator at the Divine Transformation stage, he should either not give this gift or if he does, it must be presentable, otherwise it would be really embarrassing.

While cursing himself in his heart, he still had to put on a smile and took out a jade box containing a rare spiritual herb as a gift.

Jiang Xin accepted the gift and exchanged a few insincere pleasantries with Peng Li.

The originally planned unveiling ceremony had already passed the scheduled time due to the noise. Jiang Xin was not a pedantic and inflexible person. She simply walked out of the hall, waved her hand, and peeled off the red cloth on the archway at the mountain gate below. The red cloth flew up and landed in her hand, which she then handed to an alliance disciple, thus completing the unveiling ceremony.

Then, the Loose Cultivator Alliance held a banquet to entertain these unexpected guests.

But how could Peng Li and Sect Master Xue feel comfortable staying here for the feast? They both said goodbye and left, one saying they had something to do in the sect, the other at home.

Jiang Xin tried to persuade Qi Wei, the disciple of Master Xue, to stay with her insincere words, but Master Xue glared at him and he had to follow his master with regret.

In fact, if Jiang Xin had summoned the Great Buddha from the Shui family, I'm afraid that Sect Leader Xue and Peng Li would have turned around and tried to curry favor with Jiang Xin. However, they both knew that the Shui family had sent someone here solely to save Xiao Han's face, and since Xiao Han had no connection with them, currying favor with him would be pointless, so they simply left.

The troublemakers are gone, and the ones left are all our own people.

While Jiang Xin invited Shui Qingling to take her seat, she secretly sent a message to Xiao Han, "Aunt Xiao, since you're using the excuse that Xianyun Valley and the Loose Cultivator Alliance are collaborating to mine the mineral vein, then this excuse must be true and valid. So, the mineral vein will be mined jointly by our two families from now on. But now that the Shui family has come and helped us a lot, should we share some of the profits from the mineral vein with them? That way, if there's anything in the future, they can legitimately help us."

Xiao Han replied in a voice transmission, "Your idea is very good. Only interests can form the strongest alliance. However, how much profit you plan to share with the Shui family is your business. I won't worry about it."

Of course, she didn't refuse the share of the mineral.

If she were still alone, she would have helped, but now she is the eldest sister of Xianyun Valley, and she has to consider the interests of Xianyun Valley.

Who wouldn’t be envious of a mineral vein that can be mined for a long time?

After talking to Xiao Han about this, and after three rounds of drinks, Jiang Xin said sincerely, "Senior Shui, if you hadn't come all the way here to support us today, we would definitely be bullied by the Peng family and the Wanfa Sect. Aunt Xiao and I have decided to donate 20% of the profits from mining to the Shui family. What do you think?"

Shui Qingling's heart was immediately filled with joy. In fact, if Jiang Xin and the others hadn't offered to give away the profits from the mine, she wouldn't have been able to do so, because she was here at the order of the Shui family's ancestor. But Jiang Xin was very tactful and asked the Shui family to share a share of the profits, so she definitely wouldn't refuse.

If a large family cannot continuously expand its territory and the resources at hand do not grow but shrink, how can it support an increasingly large population?

Of course, she still tried to refuse, "I came here to help you because of the order of the ancestor. You don't need to thank me."

Xiao Han smiled and said, "How many people want to cooperate with the Shui family, but can't find a way. Now that we have met Senior Shui this time, we can't miss this opportunity. Please consider it as doing us another favor and promote cooperation between the Shui family and us."

This means that if you give money to someone and they are willing to accept it, you are helping them. Who would feel uncomfortable hearing this?

The smile on Shui Qingling's face grew even wider. "Since Fellow Daoist Xiao has spoken, if I don't agree, wouldn't that also be a loss of face for my ancestors? Don't worry, if there are any more fools causing trouble over the mine, feel free to come to me."

This means agreeing to accept 20% of the mineral profits as a tribute and then supporting them.

A meal where both guest and host enjoy themselves.

After Shui Qingling left, Jiang Xin said to Xiao Han, "Aunt Xiao, it's all thanks to you that the alliance was successfully established today, that we were able to occupy this land, and that we were able to protect the mine. The remaining 80% of the profit from the mine will be divided equally between the Loose Cultivator Alliance and Xianyun Valley. What do you think?"

Xiao Han smiled and said, "I've already told the Shui family that the mine is a joint venture. It would be inappropriate for them to find out that I lied. In that case, Xianyun Valley will take 20% of the profits. 20% is more than enough."
