Yang Mu glanced at Zhong Hou and knew in his heart that this kid must be hiding something.

It seems that this kid has a lot of secrets.

However, as always, he did not delve into it out of curiosity, but explained it directly.

Only above the Star Mantle Realm can the spiritual power be released, and the spiritual power can be released to achieve the Imperial Object, which is also the reason why the Imperial Weapon can fly above the Star Mantle Realm.

And the fundamental technique of exploration is to release and extend the spiritual power to the place you want to explore, and complete the exploration work. Therefore, if you want to become an Prospector, the most basic cultivation needs to reach the Star Mantle Realm.

Some people are born with very strong mental power, while most people have very weak mental power.

The strength and weakness here are measured by the density of spiritual power, that is, quality.

In the Star Continent, some people don't feel sleepy after three days and three nights of sleeplessness, or they can recover to their peak mental state after taking a nap for an hour or two. Normal people must ensure three to four hours of sleep every day, otherwise they will definitely be listless and bored the next day.

This is the difference between the strength of innate mental power.

At the beginning of a cultivator's cultivation, the body has not yet formed a habit, and it is necessary to concentrate on guiding the external star energy into the body and consciously operating the Zhou Tian. During this period, cultivators still need to rely on sleep to restore their spiritual power.

After forming a habit, cultivation will become an instinct, and there is no need to deliberately control it, and at this time, you can use cultivation instead of sleep.

Spiritual power cannot be cultivated, and the increase in its quantity can only be improved by relying on the ascension of the realm, but its quality will never change.

Assuming that the quality of a normal person's mental power is 10, the requirement for learning exploration is to reach more than 30.

With this premise, you can learn exploration techniques and finally become an explorer.

The role of exploration is only to explore the specific location of the ore vein, and it can be said that it does not help to improve one's own strength, so no one is generally willing to waste time to learn.

There is only one kind of person who is willing to become an Prospector, that is, a person who has an innate spiritual power of more than 50, has a fire attribute astral body, and is interested in refining weapons.

This is the standard of becoming an appraiser.

Only cultivators of the fire attribute astral body can control fire, and only those who can control fire can refine weapons or alchemy.

The importance of ore to refining is self-evident, so exploration is mostly a skill that is minored by the craftsman in order to find refining materials. Although an Explorer is not the same as an Prospector, in the Star Continent, an Explorer is usually an Prospector.

If you want to become a craftsman, you must at least know how to distinguish the types and characteristics of ores, which is the foundation and a compulsory course before the master learns to refine weapons.

Otherwise, with a few pieces of ore in front of you, you don't even know what they are, how can you refine something.

Like Danshi, knowing how to distinguish the types and properties of medicinal materials is the foundation, and it is also a compulsory course before learning alchemy.

It makes sense to learn to identify the types and characteristics of ores, and then learn the art of exploration.

For example, if you only learn prospecting, and then one day you find a bunch of things underground, but you don't have the knowledge, you know if that pile of stuff is ore or not, and even if it's ore, can it be used to refine tools? You know, not all ores are suitable for refining.

If you don't know the answer, then your exploration skills are equivalent to learning in vain.

If you are not interested in refining, why spend time and energy memorizing the types and characteristics of the various ores in the Star Continent.

If you don't memorize it, there is no point in learning exploration alone.

Just like a chef, if you want to learn how to cook well, you must know how to distinguish the ingredients, which is the most basic. If you can't even tell the ingredients clearly, does it make sense to learn cooking skills alone?

The five masters, Dan Master, Instrument Master, Fu Master, Formation Master, and Beast Master.

In addition to the beast masters, the other four masters have higher requirements for spiritual power.

If the minimum requirement for an explorer is 30, then the minimum requirement for these four masters is at least 50, and if they can't meet this requirement, they can't achieve precise control in the process of alchemy, refining, talisman making, and arraying.

The array is a little better, and if you make a mistake, you can come again, but for the three items of alchemy, refining, and talisman making, one mistake is equivalent to all the materials being wasted. In case a certain material is hard to find in the world, only one copy, the loss will be great.

Therefore, before recruiting apprentices, the four masters will require them to test their spiritual power first, and those who do not meet the requirements will not be accepted.

According to Yang Mu, what Zhong Hou has to do now is to test the indicators of spiritual strength. If you meet the standard, you will consider others, and if you don't meet the standard, don't waste your feelings.

If you want to test it, Ning Fengzi is the most suitable, because he is a genuine four-star refining master. As long as he passes the test and has his experience, Zhong Hou will definitely get twice the result with half the effort when he learns exploration techniques.

Zhong Hou is not worried that his mental power is not up to standard, even if his current mental power does not reach 30, go back to find Zhu Gangguan, with his ability, there must be a solution.

Therefore, for Zhong Hou, the exploration technique can be learned first, and whether the mental power is up to standard can not be considered.

Moreover, his mental power does not need to reach 50, let alone memorize the types and characteristics of ores.

Because, he just wants to be an explorer, he doesn't want to be an instrumenter.

As mentioned earlier, memorizing all the types and characteristics of ores is the foundation, and there is no point in learning exploration without this premise. However, unless you want to become an Artifact, memorizing the types and characteristics of ores is a waste of time.

But Zhong Hou is an alternative.

The significance of memorizing the types and characteristics of ores is to know whether the item is an ore or not, what kind of ore it is, what characteristics it has, and whether it can be used in refining tools, etc.

And none of these problems are a problem for Zhong Hou.

The nine-tooth nail rake needs to evolve by devouring ore, whether it is ore or not, the nine-tooth nail rake will give the answer, and what can be devoured is naturally ore.

As for what kind, what characteristics it has, whether it can be used in the refining weapon, these are not important.

Anyway, for the nine-tooth nail rake, as long as it can be 'eaten', why do you care so much about it.

Therefore, learning exploration techniques is much easier for Zhong Hou.

Bidding farewell to Yang Mu, Zhong Hou rushed to the execution ground and went all the way to the Instrument Pavilion.

came to the Pavilion and successfully found Ning Fengzi, but the appearance of the other party at the moment made Zhong Hou almost dare not recognize him.

I saw the middle-aged man in front of him shirtless, with only a pair of big pants on his lower body, and his streamlined muscles were completely displayed. The bun on the top of his head was scattered and tied up casually behind him, and the greasy, messy black and white beard was gone.

He also had a sledgehammer in his hand, and he was obviously striking iron just now.

Could it be that all the craftsmen look like this?

Zhong Hou suppressed this curiosity in his heart and prepared to explain his intentions.

But after seeing Ning Fengzi's eyes, he immediately had an urge to run away.

Seeing each other's appearance, it's like a single dog meeting a beautiful woman, and a deep resentful woman meeting a handsome guy, with Venus in her eyes and drooling.

As expected, Ning Fengzi casually threw away the big hammer, pulled Zhong Hou over, and then went directly to the kitchen.

He had a request for others, but helplessly, Zhong Hou could only chat with the other party for a long time about his cooking skills, and personally cooked a table of sumptuous dishes, and finally turned to the topic.
