As autumn turns to winter, Zhang Cheng is getting further and further away from Zhangjiaji. On the map of Taisumen's sphere of influence that Zhang Cheng copied, the red color marking the mineral-free area gradually expands and extends.

"Huh?" On this day, Zhang Chenggang used a Luoyang shovel to drill a ten-foot-deep inclined shaft for the first cave exploration in another location, when he encountered an obstacle.

You must know that this Luoyang shovel is a magic weapon as diamond as mud. No matter how hard and thick the ordinary rock formation is, it cannot block the Luoyang shovel. Now that it encounters an obstacle, it means that the bottom is not a rock, but a stone.

Only the secondary mineral veins used to refine magic weapons have this effect.

Now that the secondary mineral veins associated with the spirit stone veins have been dug, can the spirit stone veins be far behind?

Although Zhang Cheng knew that he would find the spirit stone vein sooner or later, when the day actually came, he couldn't help but get excited.

It has been more than two years since I left home, and the door to success has finally opened to me.

Even the smallest sect reward for discovering microscopic spirit stone veins, if replaced with spirit stones and elixirs, would be enough for me to spend a lot of time and practice for a long time.

Zhang Cheng immediately pulled out the Luoyang shovel, took off the semicircular shovel head, combined a normal shovel head with a stick, and started digging deep into the ground.

The depth of ten feet is more than thirty meters. At this depth, wooden planks are needed to support the inclined shaft. Fortunately, Zhang Cheng has not been digging holes all the time in the past few months. All the wood from the time when he was logging the vast lake to build the house is still there.

Inside the storage bag.

There is almost nothing in Zhang Cheng's storage bag, so even the house materials will not be spared. These wood can be turned into the support of the inclined shaft with a little processing with a shovel.

This was also something I had thought about when prospecting in Haohan Lake.

The inclined shaft was dug to a depth of ten feet, and a dusty piece of ore weighing more than three hundred kilograms that was blocking Luoyang's shovel was finally dug out. Such ore has been seen in the secondary veins of the Lingshi vein.

Many times, black iron ore.

Black iron is an animist metal that is used in the largest amount and has the widest range of applications in the world of cultivation today.

In fact, Zhang Chengcheng can now light the message incense from thousands of miles and send the message back. The presence of black iron is evidence that there is a spirit stone vein near this place.

However, Zhang Cheng still chose to continue digging. After all, a piece of black iron ore was just a solitary piece of evidence.

Zhang Cheng continued to dig from the place where he dug the black iron ore. At night, Zhang Cheng dug two more pieces of black iron ore. One was slightly smaller than the first one, about the size of a millstone, and weighed more than two hundred kilograms.

.The third piece is two circles larger than a human head and weighs only a few dozen kilograms.

In the evening, Zhang Cheng ate one of the few remaining Essence and Blood Pills by the campfire. When he left the intelligence hall, he received a year's supply of 1,100 Essence and Blood Pills for intelligence field personnel, and now he only has one left.

There are only a few hundred or dozens left.

One pill of this Essence and Blood Pill can cover a meal. Zhang Cheng also hunted some game for a change. However, Zhang Cheng only brought salt with him. Without seasonings, most of the game was not delicious.

But who would take Qi Shisanxiang out?

With these three pieces of black iron ore, it was no longer a solitary proof. However, Zhang Cheng still did not choose to light the incense for sending messages to thousands of miles. Instead, after having a good sleep in a simple animal skin tent after dinner, the second

I got up early in the morning and meditated a little to regain my mana, and then I started to do more caving in the nearby area.

Not only did Zhang Cheng want to find out the location of the spirit stone veins, Zhang Cheng also wanted to find some associated treasures unique to the spirit stone veins.

These treasures are found in the spirit stone veins. Now that I have dug them, it is my chance. But if I report them to the sect now, then when someone from the sect digs them out here, they will become the public property of the sect.

The information hall personnel who go out to collect elixirs, kill monsters, or kill evil cultivators will own the trophies obtained by them. Only the monsters and evil cultivators that cannot be dealt with are information that needs to be reported to the intelligence hall.

This time, unlike before, where he would dig holes several miles apart, this time Zhang Cheng dug holes quite intensively. He would dig holes almost every 100 meters apart.

The black iron vein can only be regarded as a secondary vein, and the key point is the location and scope of the spirit stone vein.

Every time the grade of the spirit stone veins differs by one level, the rewards received from the sect will also vary greatly.

In the twenty days after finding the black iron ore, Zhang Cheng dug more than a hundred exploratory wells, including five inclined shafts that diggers could enter - because the exploratory wells were drilled shallowly, all around ten feet, the speed of drilling the exploratory wells was accelerated.

Already.

The first four accessible inclined shafts all yielded black iron ore, and the fifth inclined shaft located in the center where people can enter finally dug out the main vein of the Lingshi Mine.

The main vein of the Lingshi Mine is in an underground cave located twelve feet deep under the ground. Under the illumination of torches, the spiritual stones reflecting light dots on the cave wall seem to be waiting for someone to collect them.

"What a nice view!"

After sighing for three seconds, Zhang Cheng began to hunt for treasures in the cave. Most of the spiritual stones on the cave wall were of intermediate quality, indicating that this was a medium-sized spiritual stone vein - small spiritual stone veins could also produce a small amount.

Intermediate spiritual stones and micro spiritual stone veins only produce a trace amount of intermediate spiritual stones.

The ten great powers are securely obtained, but the wealth inside is far more than the ten great powers. Otherwise, Zhang Cheng would not have spent these twenty days and energy until the main vein of the spirit stone vein was dug out.

.

Although a medium-grade spiritual stone can be exchanged for a hundred merit points in the General Affairs Hall, many good things cannot be exchanged for just spiritual stones or merit points in the General Affairs Hall inside the gate. Even if they can be exchanged, it will take years.

Make time to queue up.

Zhang Cheng’s main target is high-grade spiritual stones worth 10,000 merit points. Medium-sized spiritual stone veins will also produce a small amount of high-grade spiritual stones. Especially in this undeveloped situation, if it is not a family,

If you can't keep the spirit stone veins, the wealth here is enough for the entire Zhang family to be promoted from the Foundation Establishment Immortal Clan to the Zifu Immortal Clan, or even the Golden Pill Immortal Clan.

In the world of cultivators, since ancient times, such large resource points that cannot be moved have never been obtained by those who are destined, but by those who are powerful.

In the history of the world of immortality, there are many situations where a family of cultivators who refused to let go after finding a vein of spiritual stone were eventually wiped out by a larger family of cultivators or large sects.

Ten great powers or ten foundation-building pills are indeed a great fortune for a monk, even a Zifu monk, but for a foundation-building immortal clan, hundreds or even thousands of people can share one point.

No one will get much benefit from it.

The monks of the Immortal Cultivation Family have little interest in prospecting. Without sufficient strength, occupying the spirit stone veins will only lead to trouble.

After walking around in the long cave, Zhang Cheng had already found twelve high-level spiritual stones in relatively obvious locations, more than two hundred intermediate-level spiritual stones that he picked up conveniently, and a small number of low-level spiritual stones. Zhang Cheng didn't even look at them.

The merit points exchanged for these wealth have already exceeded the merit points rewarded by the sect for the ten major functions of discovering medium-sized spirit stone veins.
