The money invested by Li Chengji and his apprentice this time was almost 500,000 magic stones.

This is because they have channels, and they don't need to spend money to open up channels to get this small mine, otherwise the number will have to rise.

Part of the more than 500,000 is used to buy mining magic equipment. Mining in the spirit world naturally cannot use manpower or simple machinery like in Blue Star.

The strength of these magic minerals is far beyond that of ordinary minerals, so special magic equipment is also needed to mine them.

These equipment are a huge enchanted equipment, and only by using the magic stone function can these minerals be mined and mined.

This set of excavation and crushing equipment requires more than 300,000 magic stones, which accounts for the bulk of this investment.

In addition to these magic energy equipment, there is also a defensive array. It is definitely unrealistic to rely solely on manpower for protection. The array is definitely needed.

They plan to spend 100,000 magic stones to buy a set of enhanced black iron-level defensive arrays.

The remaining funds are used to build a mining area, purchase transportation vehicles, hire staff and guards, and build a simple road.

After all, these excavated white hell ores are rough ores, and there is no suitable equipment for fine processing here, and Li Chengji and his apprentice are not prepared to carry out deeper fine processing of these minerals.

They will be directly pulled to Tuoyuan and sold to the official. Although the profit will be smaller, the investment will be reduced accordingly.

There are less than 100,000 magic stones left. To be honest, it is a bit tight to do these things, but there is no way. This is all their funds.

Their own money adds up to about 200,000 magic stones, and they borrowed more than 200,000 from the school to make up the full funds for this investment.

Although they had said before that they wanted Huo Ling to invest and give him more shares and dividends, if Huo Ling really invested, they would not ask for too much.

Because the output of this mine is so small, Huo Ling has already taken the dividends from the security, and if he invests again, if he gets more, the shares that will fall on their heads will be too small.

…

After staying in Tuoyuan for a few days, Huo Ling and his team officially set off.

There was a whole convoy of more than 20 trucks, several of which were full of materials needed for this time.

There were also several buses, which were full of staff members. They were mainly responsible for maintaining and using mining equipment, as well as building factories in the mining area.

In addition to these people, there was also a small escort team, which had five silver-level warriors and fifty black iron-level warriors.

They are now under Huo Ling's command, and can be regarded as his subordinates recruited for him with public funds, but the main job of these guards is to protect the subsequent transportation tasks.

Although they nominally obeyed Huo Ling's command, the team leaders and managers were all Li Chengji's men, and most of them had followed him before.

Several silver-level warriors were all followers of Li Chengji, and some black iron-level professionals were also in their team before.

In the future, Huo Ling will be responsible for the defense of the entire factory area, and these people will be responsible for the defense of the ore transport team. There is no conflict between the two in terms of work.

The road to the mining area is not smooth. Although the Tuoyuan area is strictly speaking a large hilly landform.

Although there are no high mountains around, there are still many small hills, which also slows down their travel speed.

But this is not a problem. They also scouted on the way and selected the roads to be built later.

Because there are no intact roads now, even the most basic dirt roads are not available, so the team spent a lot of time on the road. It took five days to reach the road of more than 200 kilometers.

...

After arriving at the destination, what appeared in front of Huo Ling was a stone mountain less than 400 meters high. The mineral vein was here.

This place has been officially surveyed, and the entrance to the mineral vein was even marked with red paint on the mountain.

Although the mountain is less than 200 meters high, it covers a large area, with an estimated radius of 4 or 5 kilometers.

"This is our mining area!" After everyone got off the car, Li Chengji opened his hands as if he wanted to embrace this low mountain in his arms.

He turned to Huo

Ling said, "Xiao Huo, I'll have to work hard on you next."

"I understand. This is what I should do." Huo Ling nodded.

Although the mountain had been surveyed by the authorities, the dangers inside and around the mountain had not been eliminated.

Huo Ling's first job when he came here was to clear all the potential dangers on and around the mountain.

Others began to unload equipment from the car and set up a simple camp at the foot of the mountain. Huo Ling stood in front and began to summon.

Dark warriors and skeleton warriors were summoned by him one by one, and they were densely arranged on the wasteland in front.

When the people who were setting up the camp behind him saw this scene, some of them couldn't help swallowing their saliva.

These undead warriors were all wearing black armor, and each of them exuded a terrifying breath of death.

Even those silver-level guards restrained their thoughts at this moment. So many silver-level dark warriors could easily crush them to death.

Li Chengji nodded with satisfaction when he saw this scene. The important point for him to choose Huo Ling was that although this guy had only practiced for a few years, his power was not weak at all, and it was comparable to a medium-sized battle group.

Huo Ling now had five undead spellcasters, more than 130 dark warriors, and more than 300 black iron-level skeleton warriors.

He divided these into five groups, one of which stayed in the camp as a guard force for the camp.

The remaining four teams, each with a spellcaster, more than 20 dark warriors, and more than 60 skeleton warriors, began to climb the mountain from four directions.

For a while, the mountain was like a chicken and dog, and these undead warriors launched a dragnet-style investigation on the mountain.

In addition to ordinary creatures, other spiritual creatures or magic beasts, even if they were only apprentice-level, were directly killed by them, leaving no way alive.

Although these weak creatures certainly pose no threat to Huo Ling, they are still a big threat to other ordinary staff members in the camp. The strength of these staff members is basically at the apprentice level.

They basically have no combat power. If they encounter these apprentice-level creatures or monsters, they will lose their lives if they are not careful.
