Chapter 488: Lure
"All sent away?"
Su Fan saw Su Wanjun and Great Elder Su Shi'an come to his cave dwelling together and smiled.
The cave dwelling he was in was exactly on the main vein of Liuyun Mountain, and it was built on the main spring eye of this third-tier spirit vein. It could be said that the spirit energy here was the most concentrated place in the entire Liuyun Mountain Range.
"Haha! Not bad."
Su Wanjun and Su Shi'an were both full of joy. In these few days, they had conducted a preliminary exploration of the Liuyun Mountain Range, and the results made them ecstatic.
Even if they paid out a certain amount of spirit veins, many mineral veins in the Liuyun Mountain Range now belonged to their Su Family.
In the future, perhaps they would unite with the various families stationed in Liuyun Mountain to excavate, but the lion's share would still fall into the hands of their Su Family.
Calculating roughly, the Su Family's annual income would definitely be no less than thirty thousand. After all, the value of that second-tier spirit iron mine was not ordinary.
The Su Family not only discovered a second-tier Geng Metal earth vein but also discovered an Yi Wood spirit vein, which had also reached the second-tier level.
And there were also some Yi Wood spirit roots there, such as Qingyang Wood and Red Cedar Iron Wood. These were all top-tier materials for refining artifacts.
Besides this, more than a dozen other mineral veins were discovered.
The only pity was that there were no spirit stone mineral veins.
Of course, once a spirit stone mineral vein was discovered, I fear the Yunyang Sect would also be unable to hold back. After all, even the smallest spirit stone mineral vein was I fear worth over one million.
The entire Zheng Guo only had one micro-sized spirit stone mineral vein, which was in Yunyang Mountain, under the sect's base.
If it were a small spirit stone mineral vein, I fear the sects of other countries would be unable to hold back. After all, several million, even ten million spirit stones, even those Nascent Soul sects would be unable to hold back.
However, the Nanhuang Continent could be considered a desert area of the immortal cultivation world. Even small spirit veins were only a few, and they were all controlled by those overlords.
The Yunyang Sect being able to obtain a micro-sized spirit stone mineral vein was already quite good luck.
The Su Family did not expect to have this luck either.
Of course, perhaps there were spirit stone mineral veins underground, but they were not discovered. This was very normal. Spirit stone mineral veins, as well as other mineral veins, were not so easy to survey.
This required certain technical personnel, mineral vein masters, similar to geological engineers in later generations.
Of course, some mineral veins, which were on the surface, did not need any mineral vein masters to be discovered. Most of the mineral veins discovered in Zheng Guo were actually on the surface layer. Unless it was that kind of mineral vein master, otherwise, it was very difficult for anyone to discover them underground.
Even if your divine sense was very strong, wanting to search was not so simple, especially since there were various stones or other things underground, and ordinary cultivators could not even distinguish them.
Even Su Fan's divine sense, wanting him to probe the entire underground of the Liuyun Mountain Range, was impossible. Some mineral veins existed at a depth of several thousand to ten thousand meters underground. Although his divine sense could cover ten kilometers, the underground was somewhat different.
There would be obstruction. Underground, his divine sense was at most a few thousand meters.
The entire Liuyun Mountain Range, tens of thousands of square kilometers, or even larger, really tiring him out, and the result was only finding a few mineral veins, wouldn't that be an even greater loss?
So he had no interest in that. Finding these few was already quite good, enough for the Su Family to discover.
Developing slowly, whether it was the Yi Wood mineral vein or that Geng Metal earth vein, the produced spirit mineral stones were all top-tier artifact refining materials.
For the artifact refiners in the family, they would not lack materials to practice with in the future. I fear that in the future, a batch of excellent artifact refiners would emerge in the Su Family.
In fact, the family was also constantly cultivating them. In the family's Scripture Pavilion, there were specialized records of artifact refining methods and the artifact refining insights of him, Su Fan, and Great Elder Su Shi'an.
Any family artifact refining apprentice could borrow them.
Not only artifact refining, but also alchemy and talisman making, all had insights left by Su Fan.
One must know that Su Fan could be called an Alchemy Master and Talisman Master. The insights he left behind were absolutely quite precious things.
Many were obtained through his experience in the Evolution Space of the Universe Mirror, after tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands of attempts.
This was also a precious wealth for the Su Family's rise in the future.
It could be said that these materials were no worse than the materials left by the Yunyang Sect over tens of thousands of years.
Of course, now the Su Family cultivators were still too few. Wanting to rely on these was still very difficult, but when the Su Family disciples reached thousands or tens of thousands, at that time, the Su Family would inevitably be able to erupt with brilliant power.
The hundred arts of immortal cultivation, alchemists and artifact refiners, these cultivators, their pockets were quite thick. More importantly, the status and status of these people in the immortal cultivation world were very high.
A fourth-tier alchemist, even if his cultivation was only Purple Mansion, in many places, was a guest of honor for those Golden Core cultivators, because they could refine fourth-tier spirit pills, which were useful to those Golden Core cultivators.
Artifact refiners were also like this.
Of course, in the immortal cultivation world, alchemists and array masters had the highest status, especially alchemists—an eternal truth.
In Su Fan's view, these mineral veins in Liuyun Mountain were not important. What was always important was people, the family disciples.
From now on, if alchemists and artifact refiners appeared frequently among family disciples, then the Su Family's future would also be more stable.
An alchemist often had many friends.
Why could the Taihe Ancestor stabilize his position in Zheng Guo in a short time? It was precisely his identity as an alchemist.
Why did the Su Family suddenly reveal the information that Su Fan was an Alchemy Master, and a large number of cultivators would flock to follow them to the Liuyun Mountain Range? It was the same principle.
Su Wanjun and Su Shi'an were happy that the family found mineral veins, and Su Fan was happy in his heart for the appearance of more craftsmen in the family in the future.
Although the two points might be different, the results were about the same.
"Xiao Jiu, what should we do next?"
"Next, first develop Liuyun Peak, and then those Qi Refining cultivators, don't let them run around, but form them into individual law enforcement teams, and then lead them, with Liuyun Peak as the center, to expel and hunt the demon beasts in the mountains."
"Once the demon beasts are expelled and slaughtered, that is development. We need to move mortals in the future, so we need to open up a larger living environment for them."
"At the foot of Liuyun Peak, there is a lake, and there is also a plain. That place is the most suitable for mortals to survive. As long as it is developed, it is estimated that it can support a million mortals."
"Besides this, there are several other plains. Develop them all. Letting mortals develop them is simply too slow. Since those rogue cultivators want to leave, why not ask them to take action?"
"The Su Family brings out spirit stones to serve as rewards. I believe those rogue cultivators will definitely not let it go and will certainly participate."
Su Fan said with a slight smile. ===== CHAPTER 489 =====
