Chapter 428: Exploring the Earth's Veins, Blazing Copper Mine!

Before Bai Yu's fairy city was successfully established, the spirit stones were consumed rapidly, and they were about to bottom out before his eyes.

According to Lan Yuniang's estimate, the annual basic expenditure is tens of millions. If you want to further develop, you will need at least 20 million.

Bai Yu didn't hesitate and started going out to make money the next day.

Now that a fairy city has been established, the fastest way to make money is naturally to mine.

This time, he was not traveling alone.

The earth spirit master Guo Yuan brought thousands of earth disciples with him.

Bai Yu was still uneasy, so he asked Shi Jian and Lu Beichen to lead two guards, a total of 250 people, to open a road ahead to protect them.

The crowd marched toward the wilderness in the distance.

Guo Yuan was in high spirits, and today it was finally his turn to show off his skills.

"I have to perform well and show off my skills to let City Lord Bai know that my value, Guo Yuan, is not inferior to that of Mu Li."

"When the time comes, he will have to give me a salary increase or even a dividend."

The earth spiritualist is a profession specialized from earth-based monks. He is good at prospecting and mining with earth-based magic.

As Guo Yuan walked, he imparted his experience to a group of apprentices.

"In our line of work, you not only need to learn geomancers, geodesymancers, and goldsmiths, these are the special skills."

"You also need to be familiar with geography and soil properties. As the saying goes, first look at the mountains, secondly check the water color, and thirdly check the rocks."

While talking, he also took a compass to explore around and asked his disciples to draw a map of the surrounding soil.

Bai Yu listened with interest.

Earth Spirit Masters and Feng Shui Masters have quite a lot in common, and it can be said that each has its own merits.

Along the way, they encountered many magical herbs and elixirs, which naturally fell into the bag of the group.

There were also some blind monsters that tried to attack the group of people, but Bai Yu didn't even need to take action, and the two guards were able to deal with them automatically.

After walking for more than an hour, Guo Yuan suddenly saw a large field of purple-flowered weeds growing on a mountain in the distance.

His eyes suddenly lit up:

"There is ocher above and iron below, there is copper grass above and copper below!"

"Look at the copper grass growing so vigorously and having a certain amount of spiritual energy. There must be a spiritual copper mine underneath!"

Without saying a word, he set up the escape light and flew up to the top of the mountain, digging down along a copper grass.

After a while, a piece of fiery red ore was found.

His face was full of excitement:

"Third-level spiritual mine, blazing copper!"

Bai Yu also rushed over, looking at the blazing copper mine full of fire spirit, and nodded slightly.

Third-level blazing copper is a common gas refining material, and is often used to cast shields, tripods, towers and other magic weapons.

He smiled and said:

"Mr. Guo's mission is indeed extraordinary. This place is not far from the fairy city and is easy to mine. It is a good mineral."

"I just don't know how big this blazing copper mine is?"

Guo Yuan smiled and said:

"Don't be anxious, City Master Bai. In less than half an hour, I can draw a diagram of the mineral vein trend in this place."

The yellow light in his eyes flashed, and he activated the Earth Spirit Master's unique secret technique "Eye of Geodesy".

This geodesic eye can see through the layers of earth and rocks to see through the gold and stone minerals underground.

Guo Yuan was flying, holding silk in one hand and drawing patterns quickly.

After a while, a sketch of the mineral trend was drawn.

"Congratulations, City Lord, this is a medium-sized blazing copper mine, with both output and quality."

"The city lord chose to build the city on Poison Fire Island, which is indeed a clever move. There are many volcanic rocks in the volcano, and there are hundreds of gold mines in the volcanic rocks."

Bai Yu suddenly realized that the fire rock in Guo Yuan's mouth should be the rock formed by volcanic magma.

However, ordinary minerals cannot be directly converted into income.

What he needs most now is the spirit stone mine.

So he asked:

"Mr. Guo, I wonder if there are any tips on searching for the spirit stone mine?"

Guo Yuan greeted his disciples to complete the mineral distribution map.

He himself stood with his hands behind his hands and talked eloquently:

"Lingshi mines are very rare, but they are not irregular."

"There are more gold and fire spiritual stones in the fire rock, there are more water and wood spiritual stones in the water rock, there are more earth spiritual stones than in the loess slopes, and there is another mystery to the wind and thunder and other spiritual stones."

He casually pointed to a cliff opposite:

"City Lord Bai, look over there."

Bai Yu looked around and saw that the cliff was filled with layers of sand and gravel, like pages in a book.

Isn't this the sedimentary rock that Blue Star mentioned in the previous life?

He smiled and said:

"Is this the water rock that Mr. Guo mentioned?"

Guo Yuan stroked his palms and smiled:

"Of course, City Lord, please take a look. The green-grey layer of water rock is red on top and black on the bottom. This is called a three-color rock belt. It is very rare. The central layer is most likely to contain water and wood spiritual stones."

"But this is just a rule of thumb. In the three-color rock belt, there is only one person who can find a spiritual stone mine."

Bai Yu was thoughtful.

After a while, a group of lands in Guo Yuan mapped out the complete distribution of the Blazing Copper Mine.

Guo Yuan was quite proud and handed the picture to Bai Yu:

"City Lord Bai, if the copper mine is developed here, if it is refined into blazing copper, it will be worth three to five million spiritual stones."

"In just half a day, three to five million spirit stones have been collected. City Lord Bai's future is limitless."

He didn't finish his words, he just looked at Bai Yu with a smile.

Bai Yu felt the same as Ming Jing, Guo Yuan was hinting at a reward.

But this opening cannot be opened randomly.

A Blazing Copper Mine costs three to five million, but after deducting the mining and smelting costs, it would be good to have a net profit of one million in more than ten years.

If he finds a mine at random, he will be paid once. Bai Yu might as well work for Guo Yuan.

He smiled and said:

"Mr. Guo, although the Blazing Copper Mine is good, mining and smelting are not easy, and the manpower cost is quite high."

"If you can speed up and find a few spiritual stone mines as soon as possible, I am willing to raise your salary to one level, 500,000 spiritual stones per year."

Guo Yuan was disappointed.

What he wanted was not an increase in salary, but a dividend from the mine.

Even if he found a spiritual mine, he would get a dividend.

Money is attractive. Who can resist hundreds of thousands, millions, or even tens of millions of spiritual stones?

Since Bai Yu didn't understand, he felt cold in his heart and said:

"Lord Bai doesn't know that finding a mine is not a matter of a short time. This is already the fastest speed."

"Sometimes it is normal to not find a spiritual mine for three to five months."

"As for the spiritual stone mine, it depends entirely on luck. Yuan is really powerless."

He knew that the Immortal City was just founded and urgently needed spiritual stone income.

As long as he deliberately delayed, Bai Yu would be anxious.

He just didn't believe that Bai Yu could turn out a high-level earth spirit master in this vast sea.

The longer it drags on, the more anxious Bai Yu will be, and the price will be higher at that time.

Having made up his mind, Guo Yuan deliberately slowed down, set a compass here, looked at the water color there, and turned to look at the rock features.

He seemed to be working diligently, but in fact he was dawdling quietly.

Bai Yu knew Guo Yuan's thoughts.

He didn't expose him, but flew directly to the cliff on the opposite side and pressed the "three-color rock belt" with one hand.

Since Guo Yuan was dawdling, he would do it himself.

He closed his eyes and muttered something.

Suddenly, he saw a stream of earth energy.

There was yellow and black, agitated and turbid, which was completely different from the spiritual energy, between reality and illusion.

In an instant, the earth energy of the "three-color rock belt" was firmly recorded in his mind.

Next, he could search for spiritual stone veins!
