Lu Yang did not act impulsively.
He has several reasons that support him in cooperating with Cai Shaofan to do this big thing that sounds like a fantasy.
The first and most fundamental reason is that not only was he deprived of his status as a prince by the royal family, but he was also secretly wanted by the eldest prince and the second prince. In the past few months, he has encountered fierce fighting almost every few days. .
If he hadn't brought some trump cards with him when he escaped from the royal family, he would have been a corpse at this time.
Even if he is lucky enough to survive until now, he no longer has the means to deal with those who come with a reward and want to take his head.
The last talisman that could block a full-strength attack from a monk in the early stages of foundation building had been used up, and now he would die if he encountered any monk in the late stage of Qi training.
Second, his talent is too poor and he is the lowest ranked Five Element Spiritual Root. This means that the Dongchi royal family has many resources, otherwise it would be impossible for him to reach the fifth level of Qi training at the age of under sixteen.
Now he finally met a young man who seemed quite capable and was willing to take him with him. How could he let go of this opportunity?
Thirdly, he had been managing the two micro-spirit mines before, and he was familiar with everything inside. As long as the operations were done properly, it would be very simple to produce a hundred or eighty thousand spirit stones, not to mention hollowing out the entire vein. of.
Now he has nothing.
No talent, no resources, no backing.
If we don’t take a gamble, when will we be able to turn around?
So what seemed like a hasty and impulsive decision was actually Lu Yang's last ditch choice after careful consideration.
He believes that this will be his only chance to make a comeback!
"Very good, you have a great future. Come on, point me in the direction and take me to the two spiritual stone mines you are familiar with."
Cai Shaofan looked at Lu Yang who suddenly became angry and clapped his hands with great appreciation.
"My benefactor, there are a total of twenty-four spiritual stone mines being mined in Dongchi Kingdom. One of them is medium-sized, three are small, and the remaining twenty are micro. The two I once supervised are micro-spirit mines. , they are located in Lantian Town, which is 50,000 miles northwest of the Luanyang Mountains, and Huaxifang City, which is 120,000 miles to the west. I suggest we go to the one in Lantian Town."
Lu Yang said quickly.
"Oh! There are so many spirit stone mines in Dongchi Country? What about the reserves of these medium and small ones?"
As soon as Cai Shaofan heard Lu Yang's words, his mouth immediately opened in an O shape, and then he couldn't wait to ask.
"So that my benefactor will know that although there are many spirit stone mines in vassal states like Dongchi Kingdom, these spirit stone mines are all private property belonging to the three major sects in the north. Dongchi Kingdom only manages them on their behalf. Ninety-five percent of the spiritual stones must be handed over, and only a very small part will fall into the hands of the royal family."
"As for the reserves of these spirit stone mines, the raw stone reserves of micro spirit stone mines are generally around one million pieces, the rough reserves of small spirit stone mines are about ten million, the medium ones are one hundred million, and the large ones are one billion."
"It's just that reserves are reserves. Reserves do not represent value. The reserves need to be doubled at least ten times to equal the approximate value of this spirit stone mine. After all, the conversion between the lower, middle and upper levels of spirit stones is a hundred times. Usually For example, after a miniature spirit stone mine is completely hollowed out, the value of one million raw spirit stones will often exceed tens of millions of low-grade spirit stones. A small spirit stone mine is hollowed out, enough to obtain various grade spirit stones worth hundreds of millions! There is a mixture of upper, middle and lower grade spirit stones in the spirit stone mine. If you put it all together, this is probably what it is."
Lu Yang explained a lot to Cai Shaofan eloquently.
"I understand, I understand, it means that the reserves of a small spiritual stone mine may only be one million raw spiritual stones. Most of these raw ores are low-grade spiritual stones, a small part are medium-grade spiritual stones, and a little bit of high-grade spiritual stones. It’s a spiritual stone, so its overall value is more than 10 million low-grade spiritual stones, right?”
Cai Shaofan rubbed his palms excitedly.
"Yes, benefactor, that's it. So even though we are about to go to a miniature spiritual stone mine, if we are lucky, we might be able to collect 100,000 or even hundreds of thousands of low-grade spiritual stones. With this amount of spiritual stones, we can collect tens of thousands of low-grade spiritual stones." There will be no shortage of resources to practice within this year!”
Lu Yang chuckled.
"Don't rush into dreaming. I forgot to ask you something. How long has the miniature spirit stone mine in Lantian Town been mined? Isn't it a waste mine that is almost finished?"
Cai Shaofan suddenly thought of a very important thing.
"No, no, no, the spirit mine was a new mine discovered five years ago. According to the normal speed, it would take about thirty years to dig out a miniature spirit stone mine, so now only about one-fifth or sixth of the spirit stones in it have been mined. , and there are at least eight to nine million low-grade spiritual stones worth of mineral deposits!"
Lu Yang said repeatedly.
"Eight or nine million? Lead the way, lead the way! Quick, quick, quick! Let's go now!"
Cai Shaofan didn't tell Lu Yang that his goal was not just a hundred thousand or hundreds of thousands of low-grade spiritual stones. After Lu Yang pointed in the direction, he used Soaring Cloud Technique to take Lu Yang straight to Lantian Town!
Fifty thousand miles sounds like a long way... but it's actually quite far.
Even with Cai Shaofan's foot strength, it took him more than ten hours of flying and stopping before he arrived near the miniature spirit stone mine outside Lantian Town.
The Lingshi Mine is located in a small valley covering an area of about several miles.
Where they were at the moment was behind a small hill a few miles away from the small valley.
From their position, they could clearly see the crowds of people in the valley, including dozens of ragged miners and a dozen monk supervisors patrolling with whips in hand.
And above the small valley, there are three layers of light curtains.
"How did you get in? It seems to me that this spirit stone mine is covered by several layers of formations?"
Cai Shaofan looked at Lu Yang lying next to him with a serious expression.
"My dear benefactor, don't panic. Although these three layers of defensive formations are all second-level formations, they cannot be broken without the cooperation of four or five foundation-building monks. However, I have been in charge of this place before and know that there is a loophole in these three layers of defense formations. Go in and you can follow me later."
Lu Yang replied in a low voice, and then took advantage of the getting dark to head towards the small valley.
Cai Shaofan followed closely behind.
When they reached the side of the valley, they didn't see how Lu Yang operated. The three-layer light curtain covering the outside of the valley revealed a large hole that could only accommodate one person.
The two of them ducked and their figures appeared in the valley.
Coincidentally, as soon as the two of them entered the valley, they bumped into two thin miners carrying bamboo baskets on their backs.
Before the miners could call out, Lu Yang had already knocked them unconscious with two blows from his hand.
"My dear friend, change your clothes quickly. We can pretend to be miners to get close to the storage place of the raw spiritual stone ore!"
