Chapter 760 Introduction to Mineral Deposits
"Thank you, senior."
Han Wentao expressed his sincere thanks again.
"My cultivation level is not much higher than yours, so don't call me senior. Let's call each other fellow Taoists."
Lu Luan didn't want to take advantage of someone who was overly proud of him.
"Okay, Fellow Daoist Lu."
"Friend Han, it seems that you have put a lot of thought into making this rock spider transform."
Lu Luan looked at the uninhabited human buildings in the surrounding mountains.
"I can't help it. I thought I would never be able to leave in this lifetime, so I planned to expand the territory for my race in the next few hundred years. This would also make the cave more human, promote the manifestation of the way of heaven, and help those rock spiders successfully transform. Unfortunately, they don't even know who they are, so they can't transform at all."
Han Wentao was extremely bitter, "Luckily I met Fellow Daoist Lu, otherwise I might really die quietly in this foreign land."
"Fellow Daoist Han is extremely talented. He has such strength at such a young age. He must be a member of a powerful force in the Three Realms. Now that foreign races are invading the Three Realms on a large scale, if he is really trapped here and wastes his time, it will be a great loss for our human race." Lu Luan looked regretful.
"The demon tribe launched a massive attack on the three regions?"
Han Wentao had been locked up in here for more than 30 years, so he naturally had no idea about the changes outside and was very surprised.
"Yes, this time the foreign race used a strange soil, intending to turn the three domains into a dead place. Now a large number of monsters have gathered at the border of the fairyland..." Lu Luan briefly introduced the situation outside.
"It seems that the situation is not optimistic this time."
Han Wentao immediately understood the seriousness of the matter. The excitement in his eyes began to fade, replaced by a solemn expression.
"It's not optimistic, but with the human race's foundation, it will take hundreds of years to determine the winner."
"Friend Lu, when are we going out?"
"Don't worry, I will send you out after I collect the treasures."
Lu Luan smiled kindly.
"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Lu."
Han Wentao bowed, and although he showed gratitude on his face, he was always on guard. After all, in this foreign land, no one can be easily trusted, not even humans.
"Fellow Daoist Lu, what should we do with this cave spirit? I was very lucky to suppress it. It's not easy to deal with." He looked at the jade toad under his feet. The cave spirit and the cave sky are one. Although it can be suppressed, it is too difficult to kill it.
Moreover, if he moved the ancient bell slightly, the cave spirit might seize the opportunity and escape.
Lu Luan looked at the cave spirit, which had the strength of a late Jindan realm. It would have been difficult to deal with before, but now it posed no threat.
"When I get out, I will find a way to deal with it," he said.
If a cave spirit of this strength escapes, only a Nascent Soul expert can catch it in this cave.
However, he is now very sensitive to this kind of space treasure and has a natural advantage that ordinary cultivators cannot match.
"Okay, Brother Lu, you can collect the treasure without worry. I will suppress the cave spirit first. You can collect all the spiritual medicines and spiritual minerals in the cave."
Han Wentao took out some high-level spirit stones from his storage ring and used them to activate the formation around the ancient bell to suppress the cave spirit.
Lu Luan could see that this formation was like a prison, even more solid than his current barrier. It was supposed to be set up in the cave, but it could not hold the cave spirit, so he took it out.
The formation has a strong suppressing and isolating effect, and its quality is also very high. I think it was specially prepared by the young man for traveling with foreign tribes. Once it is activated, it can trap monsters with the strength of the late Jindan stage, and can also ensure that the battle movements are not exposed.
Moreover, it is so hard that even if a cultivator in the late Jindan stage self-destructs his Jindan, it may not be able to be broken.
"Friend Han, I need you to lend me these rock spiders."
Lu Luan looked at the rock spiders.
The rock spiders on the ground were also looking at him, but they felt a stronger oppression from Lu Luan than from Han Wentao, so when they looked at Lu Luan, besides a little curiosity, there was more fear in their eyes.
"no problem."
Han Wentao nodded in agreement, and then waved his hand. Some phantoms of mountain terrain appeared in front of the two of them, with densely packed stars of light dotted on them. Han Wentao pointed at the phantoms and said, "Daoyou Lu, these are the resources I have detected in this cave for decades. I hope they will be of help to you."
Each light spot above represents the location of a treasure.
"Originally, there was a peculiar place in the cave, which was full of restrictions. There might be some kind of treasure underground, but the underground of that place was full of restrictions and very dangerous, so I didn't explore it deeply. But for some reason, the treasure underground suddenly encountered something wrong in recent years. It may have disappeared or escaped from the cave. If fellow Daoist could have come here a few years earlier, he might have gained a really good thing." Han Wentao said regretfully, pointing to a mountain range.
Lu Luan looked and found that what he was pointing at was the forbidden area.
Since his soul was not as strong as his, Han Wentao did not dare to go underground and take risks. He just took a rough look around the forbidden area.
"No problem, these are enough."
Lu Luan carefully observed the markings displayed by Han Wentao and discovered that there were more than twenty large and small mineral deposits in the cave. If he wanted to mine them all, it would take at least three years, and the process would be very laborious.
"Friend Han, what about the natural spirits in these mines?" he asked again.
Han Wentao shook his head. "When I fought with the cave spirit, they were all frightened and ran outside. Now only a dozen spirit veins are still there."
Those nature spirits are like swallows, carrying mud to build nests in caves. Once disturbed, they will scatter and find new places to live.
The empty nests left behind are precious mineral veins.
Among all the spirits of nature, the spirit veins are the most demanding about where to build their nests. Once they have chosen a good place to live, they will not leave easily.
"I was just chasing an earth spirit, but I didn't expect to alarm the cave spirit. It trapped me inside and refused to let me out no matter what. That earth spirit was only worth a hundred high-level spirit stones at most."
Whenever he thought of this, Han Wentao felt sad.
Lu Luan looked at him with great sympathy. It was really unlucky that he was trapped here for more than thirty years just for a thing worth a hundred high-level spirit stones.
If no one rescues you in this situation, you will be dead. Of course, if someone rescues you, it will be a rare opportunity. With this experience, I believe the road ahead will be much smoother.
"Using these rock spiders, we should be able to mine all the underground mineral veins in about a year."
Lu Luan thought to himself.
Next, after he memorized the map, he and Han Wentao began to check the cave one by one.
This secret cave is huge, you have to understand it clearly first.
Fortunately, Han Wentao had planned to develop here for a long time, so he had a clear understanding of the situation in the cave. With his introduction, a lot of survey time was saved.
"Friend Lu, this is a Gengjin mine."
Han Wentao took him to the nearest mine.
After Lu Luan had passed through, he took out his sword and slashed it out casually, and an extremely cold sword energy appeared.
From outside, this sword could easily cut an ordinary hundred-foot peak in half, but after the sword energy cut into the ore, it only left a crack less than fifteen feet deep.
"The texture of this Gengjin ore vein is much harder than ordinary rocks. It takes a lot of effort to mine it. It is about ten miles long and four miles wide. If it is all mined, it will be worth no less than three hundred high-level spirit stones."
Han Wentao introduced.
The ore is not very valuable, but the organ embryos refined from it are valuable.
"There's no need to mine all of it. Leave a quarter to attract gold spirits from other places to build nests here in the future."
Lu Luan said that after being trapped last time, he was not so greedy anymore.
Hearing this, Han Wentao looked at him in surprise.
After introducing this place, the two quickly went to the next place.
