Lu Qing has obtained this item before, and directly upgraded the talent, magical powers or martial arts he possessed with the ancient prefix to a level. If it is five stars, it will be upgraded to five stars at the highest.

This is a redemption item that can be used to make up for shortcomings.

Lu Qing thought about it and found that there were not many ancient abilities on hand that were not five stars now. He casually posted this exchange item on the art of Creation.

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

This is something that can be of great use in a serious way.

Lu Qing clicked it open with his hands and saw the true appearance:

【Six Star Rare: Region Complete Exploration】

[Select a region and find out all resources in the region. These resources will be clearly marked in the host map panel.]

【Redeem 3000 karma】

...

Lu Qing was stunned for a moment. Isn’t this an upgraded version of resource exploration? Why can it be considered as a six-star, and it also has a rare prefix? 3,000 points of karma, the exchange price is also ridiculously expensive.

But soon, after he carefully explained the redemption item, he vaguely understood where this redemption item was powerful.

All resources in the region have been explored.

All of this word is very important.

Without further ado, humans have been thriving here for countless years, although this land is vast, the resources in it are still limited in nature. Logically speaking, for such a long time, all the resources used for practice should have been explored completely, right?

But in fact, this is not the case. There are always some big rivers, famous mountains and forests in the place. The fierce monsters in it live in it all year round, or the natural environment is not suitable for human development, and there are many.

There are very likely some resources hidden in these places.

For monks, these resources are unexplored, and no one knows what valuable things are inside before exploring. In addition, the risks are not small, so many places must have hidden some unexplored resources that have not been found.

In fact, there are indeed people in the current world of cultivation who specialize in doing this kind of thing. If you find something that is not big but has some value, you may take it or develop it yourself; if you cannot develop it yourself, you can also sell it to some local forces. This kind of pioneering exploration team takes relatively large risks, but you can eventually reap a revenue of your own.

Moreover, many of the cultivation resources in this world are not non-renewable resources. Where spiritual energy is rich, some special changes will always occur over time, leading to the emergence of some minerals; some spiritual plants may suddenly appear in places rich in spiritual energy, or even mutate themselves, and then develop into a piece; some ordinary animals that were originally just spiritual, may become spiritual beast resources under the refinement of the rich spiritual energy...

These are all possible. Moreover, in this vast world, where most mortals live, many times, these changes have obviously happened, but no one knows them.

For Jizhou and Jinzhou, this is true, let alone Feiyunzhou, which has a relatively small population and the number of monks.

What's more, the new Shenlu County in Feiyun Prefecture has not been developed much, and there must be quite a lot of resources in it, which is completely unknown to anyone.

Lu Qing clicked on the redeem item in more detail and found that the area covered by this fully explored area is about half the size of the entire Feiyun Prefecture.

After thinking for a while, Lu Qing made a decision.

Lu Qing planned to use this exploration function in Feiyun Prefecture. Shenlu County must be covered in the entire area, while the wealthier ones chose to divide it into two parts. One part was to wrap Anling County, and the other part was to use it in the area north of Shenlu Forest.

This area is between Feiyunzhou and Xuezhou, and is part of the Beihuangsen. Looking back, when the development of Shenlu County is more mature, the place can also be established.

As for whether it will be under the jurisdiction of Selangor or Feiyunzhou...

That must be Feiyunzhou.

Feiyunzhou is the basic foundation of the Lu family. This basic foundation must be made bigger, the better. The more Johnson and Johnson Feiyunzhou is, the more stable the foundation of the Lu family will be.

Just like the Yunxiao Sect, they only mainly control Wuzhou, Xingzhou and Pingzhou. But one Wuzhou alone is the most developed region in the entire Yan State. The Lu family, theoretically speaking, now controls four states, but together, the output value is estimated to be more than that of Wuzhou. But there are also Xingzhou and Pingzhou, which are also two major states.

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

Of course, it is actually quite difficult to achieve this by relying solely on such a redemption item.

But no matter what, the production of resources becomes more abundant, and it will definitely have a good and good effect.

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

These light spots are big and small, bright and dark, and look very different, even in shape.

Next to the map, the system also gave something similar to the legend. Lu Qing could easily compare the legend to know what these light spots represent and what the richness of 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 that lived in caves all year round. If nothing unexpected happened, they would not leave the underground environment from birth to death. And these underground beetles, which were bred and hunted regularly, can obtain their back shells. Their back shells were ground by special techniques and turned into powder, and then processed after some treatment, they could be used to refine the potions needed for cultivation, or arrange earth formations.

This large beetle is not strong enough, but it is the level of a first-level spirit beast. Their back shells are not of high level materials, and the finished products they make can basically be used by low-level monks, and high-level monks will definitely not be used.

However, the market for low-level monks is actually very large. What's more, when low-level monks have more resources, the probability of practicing Taoism among them will naturally become much larger.

As for these resources, Lu Qing compared the memories in his mind. They should be all of them that have not been discovered in the past.

Relatively speaking, the distribution of the entire resource is roughly the same as Lu Qing’s previous guess. The resource density that appears in Anling County is relatively sparse, but the resource level does not seem to be very low. But there is a very obvious feature: most of these resources are in the deep mountains and forests that no one knows, or are underground like the beetle. In short, it is very difficult to find, and the development is relatively difficult.

Relatively speaking, the large area north of Shenlu County and Shenlu County is completely different. The undisclosed resource points that appear in this large area are obviously much denser, and many of them are very easy to develop. They even include several open-pit minerals.

Among them, Lu Qing saw that the brightest and the highest level was a spirit stone mine.

Spirit stone mine!

As the name suggests, this thing is a serious thing that can directly dig out spirit stones from it. With a little polishing, it is something that can be used for cultivation and even circulate on the market.

The number of spirit stone ores in Feiyunzhou is not large, and they are mainly low-quality and low-yield. These spirit stone ores in Feiyunzhou were basically under the control of Qingfeng Sect in the past, including the two in Anling County, were also directly managed by Qingfeng Sect and were not allowed to interfere.

Of course, it is another matter now. After so many years of operation, the Lu family’s right to speak in Qingfeng Sect has reached an unshakable level. It is actually not that important who can control the spirit stone mine.

But the spirit stone mine found through the "complete 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 positioning, it was considered a four-star resource.

Similarly, Feiyunzhou...is not only Feiyunzhou. It counts all the spiritual stone mines in Jizhou and Jinzhou. Most of them are first-level and very few are second-level.

First-level spirit stone veins are usually difficult to develop. In a mountain, mine caves are dug out, and hundreds of mortals are mobilized to knock and beat them every day to dig out some fragments. After processing, a hundred spirit stones are produced a year, even if there are a large number of them, three to five hundred are very good. This is actually not very profitable. It mainly depends on whether the blind cats can catch dead mice and take out a medium-grade spirit stone from it. As long as you fish out one, you will make a lot of money.

The second-level spirit stone veins are basically one of the foundations of some major forces. It would be quite good to produce thousands of spirit stones a year.

When resources reach this level, even some major forces will pay attention to and maintain them very seriously.

If the third-level spirit stone ore vein is already able to make some major forces fight each other and fight hard.

The third-level spirit stone vein produces tens of thousands of spirit stones a year. How much does Yan State earn in a year? A mineral vein can produce nearly one percent of the country's income, so it must be a battle.

There is no third-level spirit stone vein in the four states controlled by the Lu family. The only one was conveniently discovered in Wuzhou and Jizhou many years ago. It is estimated that the annual output will be as good as 30,000 spirit stones. Then, that place was placed within the Wuzhou ten years after it was discovered...

Now, on the northwest line of Shenlu County, a fourth-level spirit stone ore vein was discovered...

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

Even his state of mind has to be excited.

If you really develop a spirit stone mining industry with an annual output value of hundreds of thousands, then you won’t make a lot of money? What’s more important is that the income from this money is not a problem, not like building an industry that takes all your efforts. Maybe if you encounter a bad year, the market is dull, the returns will decline, and even lose money.

The spirit stone ore veins are dug up as much as they are.

But then, his mentality calmed down a little, and Lu Qing also thought of some questions: Is this thing easy to develop, can it be maintained?

Back then, when a third-level spirit stone vein was discovered on the border of Jizhou, the Yunxiao Sect shamelessly took it away. Logically speaking, the Central Dynasty of the Great Yan period in that period was stronger than the Lu family now. After all, there were two or three Nascent Souls that obeyed the emperor's orders. At present, the Lu dynasty was only one. For Yunxiao Sect, it was a serious and weak royal family.

The third-level spirit stone ore made them moved, let alone the fourth-level.

If the news really leaked out, Lu Qing estimated that Yunxiao Sect would not be able to withstand this greed and would definitely threaten the court to hand over the resources of this fourth-level spirit stone ore vein to them.

If that scene really happened, Lu Qing thought about it himself and had to admit that it would be difficult for the Lu family to refuse.

Reject? Could it be that I want to turn against Yunxiao Sect?

You must be careful when developing this matter yourself secretly and cannot be discovered. The fewer people know, the better.

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

He decided to go and explore it himself.

Of course, he didn't go there with his real body, nor could he go that far.

Think about it for a moment, and give the order to ask the family to issue a monk from the Qiming period to go around in the name of exploring and inspecting the development of Shenlu County. At that time, Lu Qing will directly start the training mode and teleport it over and it will be done.

He wanted to take a good look at what the ore vein was like in the state of consciousness.

...

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

Things are quite tricky.

The ore vein is in a mountain.

Of course, it is not a flat area where trees grow. The land here is vast, and the entire area of ​​the Northern Wilderness is probably not three or four sizes of Feiyunzhou, nearly one-third of the Yan Kingdom. From east to west, it is probably not a distance of 100,000 miles. It is so far away, and the terrain is very complex, including mountains, rivers, lakes...

And here is a nameless mountain next to it, which is also a place of spiritual veins, with the level of third-level spiritual veins.

But this is just a manifestation. When Lu Qing's consciousness body passes through the mountain and enters the interior, the richness of the spiritual energy inside increases significantly.

This place should have been a fifth-level spiritual vein, but because the heaven and earth here have a special effect of locking spiritual energy, it is locked into the mountain and cannot be out.

Lu Qing estimated that it is very likely that because of this, such a high-level ore vein has been formed inside the mountain after years of being soaked by the rich spiritual energy.
