Chapter 49 Rich Resources
After resting for two days, Wang Lang set off northward early in the morning of the third day with King Kong and Xiaoxue.
Xiaohua took the many cattle with her, while Lu Mi stayed at home to look after the house.
Although Wang Lang said he was resting and adjusting during these two days, he was actually practicing all the time.
He has already comprehended and learned the spell of earth ball and has mastered it.
At this time, Wang Lang finally understood what this magic was.
The spell is relatively simple.
To put it simply, it is to find and communicate with the elements in the surrounding world through one's own spiritual power, that is, mental power.
Then use spiritual power to manipulate them, allowing them to condense, compress or combine into corresponding spell attacks according to certain specific rules.
The stronger your own spiritual power, the more elements you can find and communicate with, and the more powerful the overall attack composed of them will be.
The main elements in the world of Shanhai Dahuang are gold, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, thunder, ice, space, light and darkness.
Since one's own Qi-refining talents are different, the elements that can be found and communicated with will also be different.
When Wang Lang first started practicing Qi Refining, he had already discovered his own uniqueness.
He discovered that he possessed eleven elemental talents, which meant that he possessed all of them.
From this we can see that Wang Lang’s own talent is absolutely extraordinary.
However, this is not necessarily a great thing.
Because having elemental talent does not mean that you can use the corresponding elements to perform spell attacks.
No matter which element is used for spell attack, it requires strong control over the element. To put it bluntly, it means making the elements obey.
If you want the elements to be obedient and cooperate with you in magic attacks, it doesn't just mean having strong talent or spiritual power.
If you want to make the elements obedient, it requires long-term practice.
To put it simply, it means constantly meditating to communicate with the elements.
This is like raising a pet, slowly communicating with it, slowly getting familiar with it, slowly making it dependent on you, slowly making it loyal to you. Then you can better command them to perform spell attacks.
It is easy to say that meditation can bring you closer to the elements and make them obedient. But it is very difficult to do it. It takes a lot of effort and time to really do it.
Therefore, even though Wang Lang possesses all-element talents, it is almost impossible for him to attack with all elements.
Unless he can live for thousands or even millions of years, and then slowly practice one element at a time.
So, having more elemental talents is not always a good thing.
After all, it would be a bit of a waste to cultivate only one elemental talent. If you cultivate too much, you will probably end up biting off more than you can chew.
King Kong took the lead and rushed forward, while Xiaoxue carried Wang Lang behind. They were moving very fast and quickly crossed more than 30 kilometers of forest.
At this time, they came to a vast mountainous area running east-west.
The mountains here are extremely tall and they cover a very large area, so the overall direction is not particularly steep.
The foot of the mountain and the entire mountain are covered with dense trees, which is completely different from the mountainous area running north and south to the west.
Wang Lang did not choose to go west or east to bypass the entire mountain area. Instead, he circled a few kilometers along the thousand-meter-high mountain in front of him, found a flatter slope, and then plunged directly into the mountain area.
If you choose to go east or west, you can actually bypass this east-west mountainous area smoothly.
About fifty kilometers to the east, you will reach the seaside. If you follow the seaside north, you can easily bypass this mountainous area.
The coastline to the east is relatively straight. If you follow the coastline all the way north, you can almost reach the northernmost part of the entire Dongshan.
Of course, this distance is a bit long. It takes at least 800 kilometers to reach the northernmost part of Dongshan.
The coastline to the west is not so straight. Strictly speaking, it is a big arc.
Because the further north you go, the wider the land of Dongshan becomes. And all this widened land extends into the sea in the west.
The east-west mountainous area in front of him had a total area of at least 6,000 to 7,000 square kilometers, which was much larger than the northeast-oriented mountainous area that Wang Lang had explored in the west.
Wang Lang believed that he would be able to find more and higher quality resources in this mountainous area.
This time, the main purpose of heading north is to search and collect various resource materials.
So, of course we can't bypass this mountainous area.
Walking up the gentle slope and just entering the mountainous area, Wang Lang discovered that the resources in this mountainous area were extremely abundant.
The first are resources such as trees, wild fruits, and vegetables.
The trees here were extremely dense, almost as dense as the forest they had just passed through.
Unfortunately, most of the trees in this mountain area are bamboo, pine, poplar, beech, yellow thorn tree, and other green and blue qualities, and there are very few of purple quality or above.
At least after entering the mountain area for a few kilometers, Wang Lang did not find any purple trees.
In fact, let alone purple quality trees, even blue quality trees are relatively rare. In a large area of 1 kilometer, there are only about ten or eight blue quality trees.
There are many wild fruits and vegetables in the mountains, but most of them are green and blue quality.
Don't think that because wild fruits and vegetables are food, their quality is not important.
In fact, it's not like this at all.
Whether it is wild fruits or vegetables, they all contain blood and spiritual energy. Relatively speaking, they contain more blood and spiritual energy than the air, and are easier to absorb.
The process of eating wild fruits and vegetables is equivalent to practicing.
The higher the quality of wild fruits and vegetables, the more blood and spiritual energy they contain. Eating them will naturally be more beneficial to your cultivation.
Strictly speaking, whether it is wild fruits, vegetables or exotic animal meat, they can all be called cultivation resources.
Therefore, their quality is also extremely important.
The second is mineral resources.
The mineral resources in this mountainous area are also extremely rich.
And most importantly, the quality of the mineral resources here is generally high. After entering the mountain area for a few kilometers, Wang Lang had already discovered two piles of purple-quality ore.
This is definitely a good thing.
As long as you get enough high-quality ores, the weapons can be further upgraded.
Wang Lang felt that after he explored this mountain area, he might be able to use gold-quality weapons.
Finally, there are the exotic animal resources.
Many common exotic beasts, as well as fifty-year and hundred-year-old exotic beasts, can be seen everywhere in the mountains.
The more than one hundred years mentioned here include beasts that are one hundred years old, three hundred years old, and five hundred years old.
There must be eight hundred year old strange beasts, or even thousand year old strange beasts.
It’s just that Wang Lang has just entered this mountainous area and has not gone deep into it, so he didn’t discover anything.
After entering the mountainous area and searching and exploring while collecting resources, Wang Lang soon obtained a lot of resources.
Wang Lang was a bit picky when it came to plant and mineral resources. He generally only collected and mined trees and ores of blue quality or above.
He hardly even looked at some ordinary white and green quality ones.
This doesn't mean that white and green quality trees and minerals are useless.
It's just that they are so widely distributed that you can say they are everywhere. There is absolutely no need to waste more time on them at this time.
As for wild fruits, vegetables, and herbal resources, Wang Lang took them all.
Wild fruits and vegetables are cultivation resources, and herbs are life-saving resources. So no matter what kind of quality they are, they are of great use.
Therefore, whenever you see something, it is better to take it all, especially herbal resources.
Wang Lang was busy collecting and mining resources, while King Kong took Xiaoxue to hunt various exotic beasts.
Wang Lang didn't say much about this. After all, the strength of King Kong and Xiao Xue had increased, which was only good for him, not bad.
However, Wang Lang did not let them go far.
After all, the current King Kong is only a thousand-year-old beast, not invincible. It is better to keep a low profile at this time.
If King Kong died before achieving his goal, Wang Lang felt that he would cry to death.
