Legacy: Miracle

Chapter 158 Ownership of the Mineral Vein

In the vast world of immortal cultivation, a precious vein of spiritual crystals suddenly appeared, attracting the covetousness of all major sects. This vein not only contains a rich resource of spiritual crystals, but is also said to contain a mysterious power that can enhance cultivation. As a result, countless forces flocked to it, hoping to claim it for themselves.

Amidst the mountains, shrouded in mist, representatives from various factions sat in a circle, the atmosphere tense and solemn. Sunlight filtered through the thin clouds, dappling their faces, some serious, some greedy, adding a touch of unpredictability to these negotiations that hinged on their future.

Yun Yi, Arya, and Kevin stood on the side of the Star Academy, their eyes gleaming with determination and wisdom. Yun Yi, sword in hand, scanned the assembled group, secretly pondering how to find the most reasonable solution to this conflict.

"Everyone, the ownership of this spirit crystal vein is directly related to the future development of our various sects." A representative from a powerful sect spoke first. His voice was loud and clear, revealing an unquestionable authority. "I propose that the mining rights of the vein be divided according to strength. The strong should naturally receive more."

This statement immediately caused an uproar. Some weaker sects expressed their dissatisfaction, believing that this distribution method was too unfair and would only make the strong stronger and the weak weaker.

"Hmph, dividing by strength? Wouldn't that mean the big sects would always monopolize the best resources?" A thin old man, a representative from a smaller sect, stood up, his eyes gleaming with an unyielding light. "Although our small sect is weak, we also have the right to survive!"

The atmosphere suddenly became tense, and the various factions began to argue endlessly, as if a major war was about to break out. Yun Yi saw this and felt a surge of anxiety. He knew that if the situation was allowed to continue, it would not only trigger a bloody battle, but also undermine the peace and stability of the entire continent.

At this moment, Yun Yi took a deep breath and stood up. "Everyone, please listen to me." His voice was not loud, but it seemed to have a magical power that made everyone present quiet down.

Yun Yi looked around, his gaze gentle yet resolute. "We are all immortal cultivators, striving for immortality and a lifespan equal to heaven and earth. However, on this path, cooperation and mutual benefit are the only long-term solutions. If we provoke conflict out of momentary greed, it will only lead us into endless hatred and slaughter."

He paused, then continued, "I have a suggestion. Why don't we distribute mining rights based on the contributions and needs of each faction? Sects that have made outstanding contributions to protecting the veins and fighting foreign enemies should naturally receive a larger share. At the same time, we should also consider the needs of smaller sects and allow them a certain amount of living space. Furthermore, we can establish an oversight mechanism to ensure fairness and transparency in the distribution."

Yun Yi's proposal was like a breath of fresh air, instantly dispelling the tense atmosphere. All parties involved began to seriously consider the plan, weighing its pros and cons. They realized that it would avoid excessive casualties while rationally allocating mineral resources, undoubtedly a win-win option.

"Well, Yun Yi's proposal makes sense." A middle-aged woman stood up. She was a representative from a medium-sized sect. "We really should put aside our sectarianism and work together to safeguard the peace and stability of this continent."

"Yes, I agree with Yun Yi's proposal!" Other sects also expressed their support. Even the representative of that powerful sect, after weighing the pros and cons, reluctantly accepted this reality. He knew that public outrage was difficult to incur, and if he forcibly divided the mineral veins according to strength, he would only leave himself isolated and helpless.

Finally, thanks to Yun Yi's skillful mediation, all parties reached a consensus. They signed an agreement to allocate mining rights based on contribution and demand, and established a supervisory body composed of representatives from all parties to ensure fairness and transparency in the distribution.

After the negotiations concluded, the atmosphere in the mountains became relaxed and joyful. Representatives from various factions expressed their gratitude to Yun Yi, praising his wisdom and courage. Yun Yi smiled and shook his head, knowing that this was just a small attempt on his path to immortality. The road ahead was still long, and he would continue to use his wisdom and courage to safeguard the peace and tranquility of this continent.

"Yun Yi, you're amazing!" Arya stepped forward, her eyes gleaming with admiration. "How did you come up with this plan?"

Yun Yi smiled faintly, his eyes penetrating. "In fact, the path to immortality is like this vein of minerals, full of unknowns and challenges. But as long as we uphold justice and unite as one, nothing can stop us from moving forward."

Kevin also patted Yun Yi on the shoulder and said with a hearty smile: "Well said, Yun Yi! We are so lucky to have a leader like you in Xingchen Academy!"

In the afterglow of the setting sun, Yun Yi, Arya, and Kevin stood side by side on the mountaintop, gazing at the land illuminated by the light of peace. Their hearts were filled with longing and anticipation for the future. They knew that as long as they united as one and forged ahead courageously, they would surely create their own glorious chapter.
