Planting silver arrow grass, planting low-level spiritual medicines, etc., these daily labors can help the villagers of Dongshan Village earn a certain income.
But after all, they require time to accumulate, and cannot be achieved overnight.
However, providing accommodation services to the monks can produce immediate results, and they can even experience the situation of the immortals up close.
"Hello, Immortal. May I ask your name, how strong are you, and have you ever joined a sect or other forces?" Wang Xiuyuan asked. All these contents depended on the cultivators themselves. If they were willing to reveal the truth, they would reveal it. If not, they would make up an identity.
Tao Liang had nothing to be ashamed of. He also wanted to make more connections in the market town, and then look for a place with a spiritual vein nearby, or simply buy a low-grade spiritual vein to start a family.
"Tao Liang, who has reached the Great Perfection of the Qi Refining Stage, has never joined any other faction and is willing to become a member of the market."
"Thank you, Immortal. I have recorded it. You can use this registration card to stay at the Huanyu Inn for free."
After Wang Xiuyuan wrote it down, he handed over a sign as a gift for registering.
Although the price of staying in the inn was very cheap, who doesn't like free things? After getting it, Tao Liang planned to stroll around the market and investigate the situation nearby.
If you are on duty in the market here, you can quickly enter the Ten Thousand Mountains opposite to kill monsters during your rest time.
"I don't know what the selection criteria are, but I hope I can have a chance."
Wang Xiuyuan never dreamed that he, a mere mortal, would one day work with these cultivators.
As long as the Huanyu Market develops, Dongshan Village will surely become prosperous.
…
Everyone has their own things to deal with.
As the land god, Lin Xiang was extremely busy. In order not to reveal the secret of the sudden increase in the area of his temple, he still confined the spiritual energy to an area of 20 miles.
The remaining twenty miles of land were slowly infiltrated by the spiritual energy he controlled, improving little by little, as if it was escaping from the formation and improving naturally.
In the eyes of other monks, he is a hermit master.
As an expert, there doesn't seem to be anything wrong with going to other places to dig a few spiritual veins from time to time.
The main reason is that Lin Xiang wanted to cover up the matter of Huanyu Dongtian. He didn't want to become the target of public criticism.
Nowadays, the cave heaven has long been occupied by various top sects. A brand new cave heaven means that another super sect may rise, and no matter who it is, they will take ruthless action.
He deliberately set up a restriction below the Universe Market so that high-level cultivators would be able to detect the hidden and bound spiritual veins there when they used their spiritual sense to detect.
The Foundation Establishment Pill was very attractive to independent cultivators and members of small and medium-sized sects. Not long after the notice was posted, many people signed up, which required him to carefully screen them.
After finishing these things, he turned his attention to his main project, the Star Iron Mine.
Star iron is considered one of the most famous forging materials in the world of cultivation. It has a stable and strong shape and can accept and transmit spiritual power of any attribute.
From magical weapons to magical instruments, star iron can be forged.
Lin Xiang must figure out the grade and reserve of the star iron ore in his own dojo so that he can better arrange players to carry out rational mining.
It is a good thing to have resources in the dojo, but it would not be a good idea if they were mined out all at once. Try to be as reasonable as possible.
"I'm still short of money. If I had money, I would buy the ore mined by others and keep my own ore for future use."
Lin Xiang couldn't help but sigh. After all, minerals are non-renewable resources, and the more you use, the less you have.
It would be best if we could buy ore from other people or other forces, and give priority to consuming resources from other places.
So Lin Xiang made a decision that this star iron mine would only be used to meet his own cultivation and forging needs for the time being, and would not be sold to outsiders.
Otherwise, if you sell it at a low price now, you will have to buy the ore back at a high price in the future after the mine is emptied.
His body appeared on a high mountain outside the Ten Thousand Mountains. It was surrounded by dangerous peaks and rugged rocks. Not to mention monsters and magical medicines, even ordinary wild beasts were pitifully rare.
The iron mine is located in the northeast of Huanyufang City, right on the edge of the dojo that he can sense.
If the area of the dojo had not doubled after entering the foundation-building stage, it might have taken a very long time to sense it.
Even now, Lin Xiang can only sense part of the location, and another part is located outside the dojo. He doesn't know how much reserves there are.
Normally, he never passed by that direction when entering and leaving the Ten Thousand Mountains. At the same time, due to the lack of spiritual energy, he never imagined that star iron mines would appear two hundred meters below the mountain.
"The top of this mountain looks a bit like an eagle's beak, so let's call it Eagle's Beak Peak."
Lin Xiang decided to give it a name, then he went underground and began to look for the specific location of the mineral.
In this part of the dojo, he can directly use his divine power to create a mine tunnel, saving the effort of clearing a road.
The spiritual power of the star iron ore is restrained. Lin Xiang felt the charm of these iron ores after he came to less than 200 meters.
The unrefined iron ore has spots of light on it, which looks like a deep starry sky.
The outermost area is low-grade star iron ore, which can be used to forge magical tools.
The further you go outside the Taoist temple, the harder and higher the quality of the star iron ore becomes. There is even medium-quality iron ore, which is definitely suitable for top-grade magic weapons!
"It's about two miles from low-quality iron ore to medium-quality iron ore. I don't know if there's any high-quality iron ore out there."
Lin Xiang stopped inside the mine because this was already the edge of his Taoist temple. If he went any further outside, he would be separated from it and become an ordinary cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage.
"It's better to use up some spiritual energy and quickly burrow over there to take a look. At least we need to know the size of the iron ore mine so that we can set up the formation."
Since part of the Star Iron Mine is not within the dojo, safety issues need to be given great attention.
He didn't want the ore he was reluctant to mine to be looted by others.
It just so happened that there was a set of flags of the Wanli Yellow Sand Formation inside the space package. This is a formation used by Jindan stage cultivators to guard their caves, and it is more than enough to protect iron mines.
Because this ore is within the Ten Thousand Mountains, it faces threats not only from cultivators, but also from monsters.
The divine power consumed when performing earth escape outside the dojo is very fast, almost a hundred times more than inside the dojo!
While escaping into the earth, Lin Xiang quickly used his spiritual sense to explore the Star Iron Mine, trying not to miss any point.
"There's high-quality iron ore!"
"Hey, there's actually a monster-level pangolin here."
"Wait, top-grade iron ore?"
The speed of earth escape was extremely fast. Even if Lin Xiang deliberately slowed down, he was still surprised by everything around him.
He saw the high-quality star iron ore and top-quality iron ore that he had always dreamed of. These were more than enough for Jindan and Yuanying stage cultivators to refine magic weapons!
However, mining is quite difficult and it is not within the temple, so it requires manpower to dig it out bit by bit.
And next to this iron mine, there is actually a family of pangolins. They don’t look high-level, but they can easily rely on their innate abilities to dig holes and live in the caves next to the high-quality iron ore.
There are no natural enemies here, and at the same time, you can enjoy plenty of spiritual energy, which is really comfortable.
"Once I level up and the dojo covers this area, I can subdue these three pangolins. With their help, mining should be much faster."
This is called specialization!
Lin Xiang didn't have time to think about it and continued to cross the top-grade star iron ore area that was dozens of meters wide. He originally thought that he would return to the high-grade iron ore area after crossing it.
But no one expected that there was a stone inside that was sparkling with starlight and was constantly absorbing and exhaling spiritual energy!
"Goodness, could this be a star core?"
Lin Xiang was greatly shocked, and an extremely terrifying guess came to his mind.
In ancient mythological times, it was so common for powerful people to capture stars to refine weapons or magic treasures that the sky, which was originally full of stars, was eventually reduced to only a few.
If this is a star core, then we would make a lot of money.
He didn't care about his rapidly decreasing divine power and cast a detection spell.
[Star Iron Ore Mother: A spiritual object that absorbs spiritual energy to gradually generate star iron ore. The timeframe is unknown.]
Even if it is not a star core left by a meteor, it is actually more in Lin Xiang's interest as a mineral mother.
The iron ore in front of you was all gradually transformed from it!
I don’t know how many years ago, this mother ore was suddenly born from the earth, and then began to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and then transformed the surrounding soil and stones into star iron ore.
From the initial low grade to the medium grade, high grade and even the best grade, the changes that have taken place have not been noticed by the monks.
The spiritual energy here is very thin compared to the market town or even the cave, but it is relatively abundant compared to the human world.
"Since the ore mother is here, then as long as the star iron ore does not exceed one degree, it will definitely be inexhaustible. It's just that the spiritual energy here is too thin. Otherwise, how about transferring it into the Universe Cave Heaven?"
The place with the most abundant spiritual energy is obviously the Universe Cave Heaven. All the spiritual energy nearby is transmitted from it, so it is the best choice to place it there.
However, Lin Xiang is still unable to move this mother ore. His own Taoist temple has not expanded here, and it is at least 10 miles away.
Either you need to reach level 10 or level 5, upgrading is urgent!
"Then let you stay here for now."
The existence of the mother ore has caused the value of this star iron mine to skyrocket. It is simply a treasure that any force would covet.
The minerals that can be mined now were all generated countless years ago. Many cultivation forces have been forced to decline due to over-exploitation of their own resources in the early stages, resulting in a lack of resources to mine later.
As long as the mining range is within the growth rate of the mother ore, there is no need to worry about it disappearing.
When Lin Xiang escaped from the iron mine, he took several pieces of ores of different qualities in his hands. He planned to use these ores to measure the level of refining of the gold essence.
Back on the ground, he was very satisfied with the mineral veins he found in his dojo.
So he took out the Wanli Yellow Sand Flags from the game package. These nine Wanli Yellow Sand Flags were all top-grade magic weapons. Together they could form the Wanli Yellow Sand Formation, which was just right for protecting the mineral veins.
This was not an attempt to hide the truth, because he had already opened up a mining tunnel on the side of the vein close to his own Taoist temple. The mining could definitely not be hidden from the other cultivators and monsters, so he had to take precautions in advance.
Fortunately, the Wanli Yellow Sand Array covers a large enough area, otherwise he would not be able to set up a powerful array suitable for the current situation.
Flags were inserted into the ground, and Lin Xiang's body appeared in the sky.
Just as Lin Xiang was about to place the last flag in the valley, a round, black and white figure stopped him.
"Huh? There's a panda here?"
Lin Xiang used his detection skills from a distance and discovered that the beast was actually the panda's ancestor, the iron-eating beast!
[Iron-eating beast: Level 18 monster, likes to devour copper and iron, strong body, invulnerable to swords and guns.]
The stream meanders along, bringing out some gravel rich in star iron ore from the ground. These gravels are the favorite food of the iron-eating beast.
This lv.18 beast was searching for gravel in the valley.
I saw it sitting with its round butt by the stream, its fleshy paws covered with black hair as if it had dug coal, and holding a stone the size of a watermelon in its paws.
This iron-eating beast opened its bloody mouth, and its sharp teeth bit the stone directly, crunching and crushing it into pieces, as if it was gnawing on brittle bamboo. Its teeth were quite good!
