Chapter 321: Mining a vein encounters difficulties, the 'Mining Warrior' is here to help y

According to his rough estimate, the output of raw ore from this vein will never be less than 10 million kilograms.

The mining rate in the world of cultivating immortals is generally one hundred to one, so the final amount of second-order clear water copper will be about one hundred thousand kilograms.

Even if all the materials obtained in the end are second-grade low-grade blue water copper materials, if all are sold, more than 30 million low-grade spiritual stones will be obtained.

However, mining must involve mining investment and sales costs. After excluding these, the Xu family can earn no less than 15 million low-grade spiritual stones from this vein.

Xu Feng has already planned that this clear water copper vein will not be mined on a large scale in a short period of time and the family will be exhausted. Instead, they will prepare for a steady flow of water and build it into a pillar industry of the Xu family.

In his opinion, such a risk-free industry can at least provide the family with stable financial income for a century.

Calculated in this way, the Xu family's annual profits from the Bishui copper veins should be around 150,000 spirit stones per year, which is already a very generous income.

Xu Feng and his family run the Tongxin Pavilion in Shanyangfang. They are busy all year round, and their annual income is only 70,000 to 80,000 spiritual stones.

Then, Xu Feng told his wife and children about his plan for the Bishui Copper Mine and wanted to seek their opinions.

"Husband, your plan is feasible and I basically agree with it, but there are still problems.

First of all, mining ore veins is an extremely labor-intensive task. Our Xu family, including the oldest and youngest together, is only a family of six, and there is no manpower available at all.

Secondly, even if the raw ore is mined, what about the smelting problem? Although the raw ore can also be sold directly to the outside world, the price is so low that it is not cost-effective at all. "

After hearing the two questions raised by the Taoist couple, Xu Feng, who was immersed in his family's plan to make a fortune, suddenly woke up. He felt that he had thought about things a little too simply.

While he was thinking quietly, Xu Liqi, who was standing aside and unable to speak, spoke carelessly.

"Father, mother, I do have some ideas that I can share with you for your reference."

Encouraged by his mother's eyes, he continued:

"I think the matter of mining ore veins can be easily solved. Dad, don't you have a good relationship with the management monk of Shanyangfang? You can completely entrust him to issue a recruitment notice.

There are a lot of casual cultivators in the city who have nothing to do. We can definitely recruit some honest people among them to mine veins for us. As long as the treatment is better, we won't be afraid of not being able to recruit enough manpower.

As for the problem of raw ore smelting, this can also be easily solved. Dad, Mom, at the end of the street where our shop is located, there is a large shop specializing in selling large-scale magical equipment for smelting raw ore.

The young master in that shop has been playing with me since we were young, and we have a very good relationship. If I talk to him, I can definitely get the smelting magic weapon at the lowest price. "

Xu Feng naturally heard every word of Xu Liqi's eloquent words. He felt very pleased to see his son who had already shown his shrewd and capable qualities at such a young age.

But just because he was young, he lacked consideration in some aspects. He could not accept either of these two seemingly good suggestions.

"Qi'er, first of all, dad would like to praise you for coming up with two solutions to the mineral vein problem in such a short period of time.

But, some things are not as simple as you think.

The first is the news that our family owns this mine. We must not reveal it in a short time.

Because the interests involved are so great, no one can guarantee what will happen under the temptation of more than 30 million low-grade spiritual stones.

Secondly, we must not be responsible for purchasing smelting equipment and magic weapons. The reason is that I have just said it. "

At this point, Xu Feng saw that his son was obviously downcast and his mood was much lower. In order not to dampen his enthusiasm, he walked to his son, patted his shoulder, smiled and praised:

"Okay, a man should hold his chest and head high at all times. You are the first to discover the Bishui copper vein this time.

If it weren't for you, I don't know how long this mine would have been hidden here, so my father decided to give you a heavy reward. Think carefully about what you want, and tell me when you think about it, and I will definitely satisfy you."

After comforting his son, Xu Feng turned his head to Liang Waner and said seriously:

"Wan'er, this is what I think about mining mineral veins. I went out to explore for treasures before, and didn't I get a puppet inheritance?

There happens to be a kind of small puppet that can be used for mining. It looks similar to a monk. As long as a foundation-building monk controls it with his spiritual consciousness, he can control seven or eight puppets at a time to mine, and the speed will not be slowed down. "

Hearing his father talk about puppets, Xu Liqi immediately became energetic. After more than two years of hard study, he has mastered the puppet technique and can make simple first-level low-grade puppets.

"Father, the puppets you are talking about are the first-level high-grade puppets called 'Mining Soldiers' as recorded in the inheritance, right? I have also read the introduction and think they are perfect for mining.

However, the child's puppet technique is only at the lower level of the first level, and Aunt Lan's puppet technique is also at the mid-level of the first level. It is not possible to make a high-grade first-level puppet for the time being. "

The puppetry inheritance that Xu Feng brought home was originally practiced by his three Taoist companions and his eldest son. Later, Luo Xinran and Liang Wan'er were limited by their talents and completely gave up puppetry. Only Xu Tinglan and Xu Liqi, who were slightly more talented, still persisted.

"It's okay. There's no rush. Take your time. Anyway, our family has enough spiritual stones now. The mining of this vein is mainly for future considerations."

Xu Feng didn't care. In his opinion, as long as he could refine the "mining warrior" in ten years, that would be enough. This is a century-long plan and there is no need to rush.

In the empty mine, the family of three each picked up a lot of the blue water copper ore scattered on the ground and put it in the storage bag, and then began to return the same way.

On the way back, Xu Feng also roughly restored the whole process of the ink poisonous boa appearing in the small lake in his mind.

The giant anaconda was originally just an ordinary beast, but it accidentally entered an underground river, and somehow it drilled into a place where the green water copper vein was hidden. With the help of the water spirit there, it began to evolve and finally transformed into a demon beast.

Later, it followed the riverbed of the underground river and appeared in the Xu Family Spirit Lake. Finally, it was discovered and killed by Xu Liqi.
