Chapter 436
Zhou Yang is not a professional friar in vein exploration, not even an amateur.
Moreover, the method of exploring the reserves of Lingshi mine is completely different from that of exploring the reserves of other veins. Even the most professional friar of the Zhou family has no experience in exploring Lingshi mine.
But it doesn't matter. He has the simplest and most effective way to explore the reserves of Lingshi mine.
This method is to determine the approximate reserves of Lingshi mine according to the degree of suppression of divine consciousness in Lingshi mine and the richness of internal aura.
The method is simple, but it is not easy to do.
Because to measure the degree of suppression of divine consciousness in Lingshi mine, Zhou Yang must go all the way to the core of Lingshi mine, and then open up a channel longitudinally on all sides for comparison, so as to make an accurate judgment.
But no matter how difficult it is, it must be done.
Therefore, after meditating for a while, he told his apprentice Lu Xuewei: "wait here for me. Don't go away. I'll go in and explore the reserves of Lingshi mine and come back!"
With that, he immediately released his flying sword and dug into the Lingshi mine.
The earth and sand in Lingshi mine have been quenched by Lingqi for many years. Even if they have not been transformed into Lingjin ore, their hardness is comparable to that of refined iron.
Moreover, due to the uneven mixing of auras in the Lingshi mine, earth evasion can't take effect in it at all. It's not even earth evasion. Many isolated attack and defense spells are also easy to fail or greatly reduce their power.
Therefore, if you want to open a channel in Lingshi mine, you can only rely on magic tools such as flying sword.
If Zhou Yang's cultivation had not reached the later stage of Zifu, and the flying sword in his hand was a fourth-order middle-class magic weapon, and there was a storage ring that could hold the excavated earth, sand and stone, it would not be easy to quickly dig a passage for one person to pass through.
As he began to dig, pieces of crystal clear spirit stones were picked out and put into the bag.
Whenever the excavated earth, sand and stone can not be loaded with the storage ring, Zhou Yang will withdraw from a distance and melt the earth, sand and stone into blocks with real fire and fill them in the passage behind him.
The rich aura in the Lingshi mine allows him to quickly replenish the mana he consumes, but he doesn't have to stop often to restore mana.
After three or four days, Zhou Yang finally measured the reserves of the Lingshi mine.
This is a medium-sized Lingshi mine!
A medium-sized Lingshi mine means that at least ten million inferior Lingshi can be excavated!
Moreover, in the medium-sized Lingshi mine, the number of top-grade Lingshi must be not a few, not hundreds, but dozens.
According to Zhou Yang's knowledge, the Huangsha menli sect has only discovered a Zhongpin Lingshi mine for so many years, and has already hollowed it out.
To tell the truth, if the current Zhou family had not had the power to be completely fearless of Salmonella Huang, even if Zhou Yang found such a medium-sized Lingshi mine, he might not dare to exploit it openly.
Because the interests involved are too great!
"If Zhang Yunpeng knew that there were medium-sized Lingshi mines in the sand sea on the side of rhinoceros horn Island, he estimated that he would have a share here after fighting his life!"
Zhou Yang's eyes were colorful and his heart was unspeakable comfortable.
He planned the development of the new fairy world, although he just wanted to break the situation by developing the new fairy world and break the rule of Salmonella Huang over the boundless sand sea fairy world.
But now it seems that although it takes time, effort and money to develop the new immortal cultivation world, the harvest that can be obtained is also huge.
You should know that the boundless sand sea immortal world ruled by the yellow sand gate has been visited by many monks for thousands of years. Various resources that are easy to find have long been discovered and exploited.
Only some resources buried deep underground will be discovered by immortals from time to time.
However, the new fairyland on rhinoceros horn island is different. In the past, few fairies set foot in the sand sea. Even if someone set foot, most of them just came to hunt monsters and look for oases. No one did such time-consuming and laborious things as prospecting.
The reason is also very simple. It is too far away from the inhabited oasis. Even if a vein is found, it is impossible to migrate people to mine as long as it is not Lingshi mine, a valuable vein. Naturally, there is no need to explore.
But now it's different. Now the Zhou family has decided to build rhinoceros horn island as the family base, and is willing to protect the Xiuxian family who responded to the call to open up a family in the new Xiuxian world.
A large number of human beings will soon appear on this land, and the resources buried underground for countless years will be discovered and exploited.
"This time, it reminds me."
"An undeveloped land, even in the boundless sand sea with poor resources, will certainly contain some rare resources."
"Since my Zhou family wants to be the overlord of the new immortal cultivation world, of course, we should seize the opportunity to find and occupy these rare resource points first!"
"Well, when you get back, you will directly release the task to encourage the family friars to go out of the oasis and explore the vast sand sea."
Zhou Yang, who had explored the reserves of Lingshi ore, didn't stay in the vein much, even when he returned to his apprentice Lu Xuewei.
After being told by Zhou Yang to wait in place, Lu Xuewei has been meditating and healing for several days. When he comes back, most of her injuries are better.
"Thanks to Xuewei's report, I can find this Lingshi mine this time. As a teacher, I always have clear rewards and punishments. Xuewei, tell me, what reward do you want?"
Zhou Yang, who was in a good mood, was also the real hero who did not forget to find the Lingshi mine. When he came back, he directly looked at Lu Xuewei and talked about the reward.
When Lu Xuewei heard this, she was immediately happy that she could choose her own reward, which fully shows how good Zhou Yang is now.
Her mind turned and she thought of many kinds of rewards in an instant.
But in the end, she knelt down in front of Zhou Yang, looked at Zhou Yang with a look of prayer and said, "master Mingjian, I have been looking for oases for the Lu family over the years. Although I have found one or two small oases with second-order spiritual veins, those oases are too remote to be suitable for a small family like the Lu family."
"If you want to reward the disciple for something, you can reward a small oasis not far from xijiaozhou for the migration of the Lu family. In this way, the disciple can also explain to the fifth brother and the Lu family!"
She didn't forget her purpose of working hard in the sand sea. She would rather give up some treasure rewards that can bring great help to her practice and fulfill her promise to her brother.
Zhou Yang frowned when he heard her request. He didn't seem to expect that she would make such a request.
However, he always kept his word. After a little hesitation, he nodded and said, "well, since you have made a decision, I won't advise you anymore. Moreover, with your achievements this time, the reward for a small oasis is still too light."
After that, he paused and continued to say, "well, when you go back, my teacher will arrange a small oasis near rhinoceros horn island for the Lu family and help them raise the spiritual pulse on the oasis to the third level."
A small oasis with third-order spiritual veins is enough to serve as the foundation of a foundation building family.
Although the reward is still insignificant compared with a medium-sized Lingshi mine, Lu Xuewei is satisfied when she hears Zhou Yang's words.
She was so happy that she could not help kowtowing to Zhou Yang and said, "thank you, master. Your great kindness will never be forgotten."
"Get up. As long as you practice well and open up Zifu as soon as possible, you will be the greatest reward for being a teacher."
Zhou Yang nodded slightly, with a look of favor on his face, reached out and helped Lu Xuewei up from the ground. If he pointed at her, he encouraged her and said, "as long as you open up Zifu successfully, even if you want to support the Lu family to become the foundation building family, it's just a matter of doing it at will!"
"Yes, I will practice hard and live up to your love, master!"
Lu Xuewei nodded hard and responded in a firm whisper.
Zhou Yang really has nothing to say about her apprentice. Even the children of the Zhou family, no one can get Zhou Yang's attention.
In her heart, she has always been grateful to Zhou Yang for his cultivation. More than once, she secretly vowed to practice hard and live up to Zhou Yang's value.
Next, Zhou Yang and Lu Xuewei returned to the ground, and then Zhou Yang cast a spell to block the hole made by the "Earth Dragon earthworm".
The aura in the Lingshi mine has begun to leak out along the underground cave. If the underground cave is not blocked, there will be demons or friars attracted by the leaked aura, which will be another trouble at that time.
Moreover, Zhou Yang had detected the depth of Lingshi mine when he was digging in Lingshi mine. This depth is really not low.
If you stand on the ground and dig down, you must dig at least more than 100 feet deep before you can dig out the spirit stone.
Generally, the buried depth of ore veins is within ten to thirty feet underground, and some ore veins can be mined as long as they are dug down three or four feet.
If it were not for such a precious vein as Lingshi mine, few families would be willing to invest manpower in mining in this vast sand sea.
However, in order to excavate Lingshi mine, it is worth not to say that it is more than 100 feet, that is, 500 feet or 1000 feet!
At this time, several days have passed since Zhou Yang went down to the underground cave. The golden winged thunder Eagle who followed his orders to hunt down those escaping monsters has already returned, and also brought back a piece of "Earth Dragon earthworm" residual corpse about three feet long, as well as a giant snake corpse emitting the smell of third-order top-grade monsters.
Through some communication with golden winged thunder eagle, Zhou Yang knew that the residual body of "Earth Dragon earthworm" was robbed from the mouth of a fourth-order middle-class monster "wind fox wolf", and the giant snake body was the prey it later hunted along another trace.
"Well, since you robbed this thing from the wolf's mouth, you will be rewarded with this large piece of fifth order demon wolf meat."
Zhou Yang patted the golden winged thunder eagle's head with satisfaction. With a wave of his hand, he took out a large piece of meat half a Zhang Long "heart eating demon wolf" as a reward and rewarded the pet as food.
Moreover, the method of exploring the reserves of Lingshi mine is completely different from that of exploring the reserves of other veins. Even the most professional friar of the Zhou family has no experience in exploring Lingshi mine.
But it doesn't matter. He has the simplest and most effective way to explore the reserves of Lingshi mine.
