Ancestor Above

The ancient upgrade exchange item, which Lu Qing had obtained before, directly upgraded a talent, supernatural power, or skill with the prefix of the ancient that he possessed to a level. If it is five stars, it will be upgraded to five stars at the highest.

This is an exchange item that can be used to make up for shortcomings.

Lu Qing thought about it, the ancient abilities he had in hand, in fact, there are not many five-star abilities now, and there are not many. He casually pasted this exchange item on the kung fu of Creation Book.

Then, his gaze turned to the last six-star rare exchange item.

This is something that can be of great use.

Lu Qing eagerly clicked it open, and saw the true face:

[Six-star rarity: complete area exploration]

[Select an area, and in this area, detect all the resources in this area. These resources will be clearly marked in the host's map panel. 】

[Exchange requires 3000 karma]

...

Lu Qing froze for a moment, isn't this an upgraded version of resource exploration? Why can it be counted as six stars, and it also has a rare prefix? 3000 karma points, this exchange price is also ridiculously expensive.

But soon, after he read the description of this exchange item more carefully, he vaguely understood what is so great about this exchange item.

All the resources in the area have been explored.

The whole word is very important.

Not much else to say, in a familiar place like Jizhou, human beings have been multiplying and living here for countless years. Although this piece of land is vast, the resources in it are still limited in a word. Logically speaking, in such a long time, all the resources used in various cultivation should have been explored, right?

But it is not. Within a place, there are always some big rivers, famous mountains, and forests. Among them are fierce monsters that live in it all year round, or the natural environment is not suitable for human development, there are many, many.

It is very likely that some resources are hidden in these places.

For monks, these resources are undiscovered, and no one knows what valuable things are inside before exploring. In addition, the risk is not small, so in many places, there must be some untapped resources hidden that have not been found.

In fact, in the current practice world, there are indeed people who specialize in this kind of thing. If you find some small but valuable things, you may take or develop them yourself; if you can't develop them yourself, you can also sell them to some local forces. This kind of pioneering exploration team took relatively large risks, but they could always reap their own income.

Moreover, many cultivation resources in this world are not non-renewable resources. Where the aura is rich, over time, there will always be some special mutations, leading to the appearance of some minerals; some spiritual plants may also suddenly appear in the place where the aura is rich, and even mutate themselves, and then develop into a piece; Some spiritual ordinary animals may also become spiritual beast resources under the training of rich aura...

These are all possible. Moreover, in this vast world, where there are many mortals, many times, these changes obviously happened, but no one knew about them.

This is true for familiar places like Jizhou and Jinzhou, let alone Feiyun Prefecture, which has a relatively small population and monks.

What's more, Feiyun Prefecture's new Nashenlu County itself has not received much development, and there must be quite a lot of resources in it, which are completely unknown.

Lu Qing clicked on the more detailed information about this exchange item. It was discovered that this fully explored area covered about half the size of the entire Feiyun Prefecture, including Shenlu County.

After thinking about it, Lu Qing made a decision.

Lu Qing plans to use this exploration function in Feiyun State. Shenlu County must be covered in its entirety, and the richer ones, he chose to divide them into two. One part was wrapped in Anling County, and the other part was used in the area north of Shenlu Forest.

This area is between Feiyun State and Xuezhou, sandwiching a part of Beihuang Forest. Looking back, when the development of Shenlu County is more mature, a county can also be established in that area.

As for when the time comes, will it be under the jurisdiction of Selangor State or Feiyun State...

That must be Feiyun State.

Feiyun Prefecture is the basic foundation of the Lu family. This basic foundation must be made as big as possible. The stronger Feiyun Prefecture is, the more stable the foundation of the Lu family will be.

Just like Yunxiaozong, they are nothing more than mainly controlling Wuzhou, Xingzhou, and Pingzhou. But Wuzhou alone is the most developed area in the entire Yan Kingdom. Theoretically speaking, the Lu family now controls four states, but if they all add up, the output value is estimated to be slightly more than that of Wuzhou. But people still have Xingzhou and Pingzhou, which are also two big states.

If Feiyun Prefecture can be built as strong as Wuzhou, then the Lu family will take off. In the future, maybe there will be no need to rely on others every day.

Of course, it is actually quite difficult to achieve this by relying only on such an exchange item.

But in any case, the production of resources has become more abundant, which must still have a very good effect.

After spending three thousand karma, Lu Qing could clearly see a large number of newly born blue light spots from his map.

These points of light, big and small, bright and dark, look closely, and even have different shapes.

Next to the map, the system also thoughtfully provided something similar to a legend. Lu Qing could easily compare the legends to know what these light spots represent and how rich the resources are.

For example, Lu Qing saw that there was a hidden resource in the north of Pingyao County, Anling County, between Yuyan Mountain and Pingyao County. It was an underground beetle race that lived in caves all year round. If nothing else happened, they would never leave the underground environment from birth to death. And this kind of subterranean beetle, bred and hunted regularly, can obtain their back shells. Their back shells, after being ground into powder by special techniques, can be used to refine potions needed for cultivation, or to arrange earth formations.

This kind of large beetle family is not strong, it is at the level of a first-level spirit beast. Their back shells are not of high grade as materials, and the finished products can basically only be used by low-level monks, and definitely not for high-level monks.

However, the market for low-level monks is actually huge. What's more, when low-level monks have more resources, among them, if they practice well, the probability of being the first high-level monk will naturally increase a lot.

As for these resources, Lu Qing compared the memories in his mind, and they should all have not been discovered in the past.

Relatively speaking, the distribution of the entire resource is about the same as Lu Qing's previous guess. The resource density here in Anling County is relatively sparse, but the resource level does not seem to be very low. But there is an obvious feature: most of these resources are in the deep mountains and old forests that no one knows, or like the beetle, they are underground. All in all, it is very difficult to find, and the development difficulty is relatively high.

Relatively speaking, the situation in Shenlu County and the large area to the north of Shenlu County is completely different. In this large area, the undiscovered resource points that appear are obviously much denser, and many of them are very easy to develop. It even includes several open-pit mines.

Among them, the one Lu Qing saw with the brightest light and the highest level was a Lingshi mine.

Spirit Stone Mine!

As the name suggests, this thing is serious enough to dig out spirit stones directly from it. With a little polishing, it is something that can be directly used for cultivation or even circulated in the market.

There are not many Lingshi mines in Feiyun Prefecture, and they are mainly low-quality and low-yield. These Lingshi mines in Feiyun Prefecture were basically under the control of Qingfengmen before, including the two in Anling County, which were also directly managed by Qingfengmen, and no one else was allowed to interfere.

Now, of course, is another story. After so many years of operation, the Lu family's right to speak in the Qingfeng Gate has reached an unshakable level. It is actually not that important who controls the Lingshi Mine.

But right now, the spirit stone mine found through the "full exploration" exchange item is a completely different matter.

Lu Qing saw that the resource level of that place was very high, and in the system's positioning, it was counted as a four-star resource.

And in the same way, Feiyun Prefecture... is not only Feiyun Prefecture, counting all the spiritual stone mines in Jizhou and Jinzhou, most of them are first-level, and there are very few second-level ones.

First-level spirit stone veins are usually more difficult to develop. In a large mountain, a mine is dug out, and hundreds of mortals are mobilized to beat in it every day, and some bits and pieces are dug out. After processing, less than a year The output of hundreds of spirit stones, even if there are many, three to five hundred is not bad. This is actually not very profitable, it mainly depends on whether the blind cat can meet the dead mouse and fish out a middle-grade spirit stone from it. As long as one piece is fished out, it will be blood money.

The second-level spirit stone veins are basically one of the foundations of some big forces, and it is pretty good to produce thousands of spirit stones a year.

Resources at this level, even some big forces, will pay close attention to and maintain them very seriously.

As for the third-level spirit stone veins, it has been able to make some big forces fight each other to death and fight bloody battles.

The third-level spirit stone vein produces tens of thousands of spirit stones a year. How much does Yan Guo earn a year? A mine can produce nearly 1% of the country's income, so it will definitely require shopping.

Within the four states controlled by the Lu family, there are no third-order spirit stone veins. The only one was discovered many years ago in Wuzhou and Jizhou, and it is estimated that the annual output can be as large as 30,000 spirit stones. Then, just ten years after it was discovered, that place was included in Wuzhou...

And now, on the northwest border of Shenlu County, a fourth-order spirit stone vein was discovered...

When Lu Qing saw it just now, he became excited immediately.

Even his state of mind needs to be excited.

If it is really well developed and a Lingshi mining industry with an annual output value of hundreds of thousands is produced, will it not be bloody? More importantly, the income from this money does not require any thought at all. It is not like engaging in any industry. If you spend all your time, if the year is not good and the market is flat, the income will decline or even lose money. .

This kind of Lingshi vein is exactly as much as it is dug out.

But then, when he calmed down a bit, Lu Qing also thought of some questions: This thing, the development is easy to develop, can it hold?

At that time, at the border of Jizhou, such a vein of third-order spirit stone was discovered, and Yun Xiaozong shamelessly rowed it away. It stands to reason that the Dayan Central Dynasty at that time was stronger than the current Lu family. After all, there are two or three Nascent Souls who obey the emperor's orders in other dynasties. At present, there is only Lu Qing in the Lu Dynasty. For the Yunxiao Sect, it is a weak royal family that is serious and honest.

The third-order spirit stone mine has made them excited, let alone the fourth-order.

If the news leaked out, Lu Qing estimated that Yun Xiaozong must not be able to bear this greed, and would definitely threaten the court and hand over the resources of this fourth-order spirit stone vein to them.

If that scene really happened, Lu Qing thought for a while and had to admit that the Lu family would find it very difficult to refuse.

reject? Could it be that he wants to turn against Yun Xiaozong?

You must be careful about this matter. If you develop it secretly, you can't be discovered. The less people know about it, the better.

After thinking about it, Lu Qing felt a little uneasy.

He decided to check it out himself.

Of course, he didn't go with his real body, and he couldn't go that far.

Think about it for a while, the next order is to ask the family to send out a monk in the Enlightenment period to go around in the name of investigating and inspecting the development of Shenlu County. At that time, Lu Qing will directly activate the experience mode, teleport to it and it will be over.

He wants to take a good look at the state of the conscious body to see what is going on with that mine vein.

...

Half a month later, Lu Qing's consciousness was already in the mine vein.

Things are tricky.

The ore lode is in a mountain.

In Beihuang forest, of course, it is not a flat place with trees growing. The land here is vast, and the entire area of ​​the Northern Wilderness Forest is probably three or four times the size of Feiyun Prefecture, which is almost one-third the size of Yan Kingdom. From east to west, I'm afraid it's not a distance of hundreds of thousands of miles. So far away, the terrain is very complicated, with mountains, rivers, lakes...these are all there.

And here, the side is an unnamed mountain, and it is also a land of spiritual veins, with a level of third-order spiritual veins.

But that's just the appearance. When Lu Qing's consciousness passed through the mountain and entered the interior, the intensity of the aura inside increased significantly.

Here, it should be a fifth-order spiritual vein, but because the heaven and earth here have a special effect of locking the spiritual energy, it is locked in the mountain and cannot come out.

Lu Qing reckoned that it was probably because of this that over the years, under the influence of rich aura, such a high-level mineral vein was formed inside the mountain.
