Silla, Supreme Council

"Ladies and gentlemen, our opportunity has come, now that the value of spiritual materials has been mentioned to the highest by the Eastern Union brothers, foreign trade will allow us to rise again, so what is the output of spiritual crystals in our country now?" In the conference room, the Supreme Speaker said excitedly.

"At present, according to statistics, our daily output of spirit crystals is about 217 grams, which is not much fluctuating, and it is expected that it may grow steadily in the future." An official reported with a report.

"That's equivalent to about 20 billion Donglian dollars a day, and it's only 600 billion Donglian dollars a year, which is still too little if you don't buy Tsukidan." The Supreme Speaker shook his head and said.

"But we are mainly focused on the cultivation of elixirs, and the income of spirit crystals is less than that of elixirs, and it should be able to get together more than 2 trillion Donglian yuan of output value for a year, and if you count the demon beasts, 3 trillion Donglian yuan a year is no problem." The Minister of Forestry reminded.

"That's too little." Most of the officials shook their heads, if they had been in the past, they would have been satisfied, this is a huge amount of money that has never been touched.

But after the revival of the aura, they have gained too much sweetness, and their dreams and expectations have also become bigger, so they are naturally not satisfied with the current benefits and want to make more money.

"Speaker....... Speaking of which, we have discovered a spirit mine, which may greatly increase the production of spirit crystals in China. Jiang Yuansheng, the head of the transcendent department, hesitated for a moment and then reminded.

"Is it already decided?" The Supreme Speaker asked, he had also heard about the discovery of the spirit ore near Ping City before, but he was still studying the stability of the spirit crystal at that time, so he didn't care too much.

"Yes, according to the analysis of the experts of the Eastern Union Union, this spirit mine has development value, and it is said that the daily output is about 70 tons of spirit ore, and it is said that about 4 kilograms of spirit crystals can be extracted from it."

"The Eastern Union Union said that it already has the spirit vein locking technology and the spirit crystal refining technology, and they said that as long as the two of us cooperate, we can develop the spirit mine."

"So what are you waiting for? Hurry up and develop that spiritual mine, it's all money! The mining industry wondered, you must know that 4 kilograms of spirit crystals are enough to exchange for 400 Tsukidan or 40 billion Donglian Yuan!

If they don't buy Chikitan in a year, they will have an income of nearly 14 trillion yuan, and this business alone will be enough for their economy to surpass their brothers in the south.

Of course, digging out so many spirit crystals will definitely depreciate the value of spirit crystals, plus it is impossible to reach this output in the short term, but even if it is one-tenth, it is a very considerable number.

"But my doubts are, isn't there a spiritual mine in the territory of the Eastern Union? Their land area is so much larger than ours, and they have two large cave heaven blessed lands, so they should also have spiritual mines, right? Jiang Yuansheng wondered.

"What the hell is this?!" The Supreme Speaker was dissatisfied: "The Donglian brothers have already said to the outside world that one gram of Lingjing can be exchanged for 10 million Donglian Yuan, which is a more profitable business than opening a banknote printing factory, so we should hurry up and dig it!" ”

"Yes, even in the early stage, the daily output should be able to reach a few hundred grams, that is, dozens of billions of Donglian yuan a day, and now Donglian Yuan is so valuable, we should find a way to get more in exchange for pills and other things."

"Seconded." Many officials have expressed their opinions, and soon at the meeting, they established the plan to find a joint venture with the East to develop the spiritual mine.

……..

Of course, it was not only Silla who held an internal meeting, but all countries in the world were prepared, and everyone began to loot the spirit crystals and elixirs in their own territories.

In particular, the policy of exchanging Lingjing for Jidan proposed by the Eastern Union has stimulated many countries, especially those more backward countries, as an opportunity for their own rise.

"We've made a fortune, we're really making a lot of money this time, and basically we don't have to worry about the development in the next few years." A short time after the meeting, Han Dalong excitedly took a tablet computer to Zhou Xinming to see.

"According to the difficulty report of the Ministry of Finance, just one day after the establishment of the Earth Cultivation Realm and the Free Trade Zone, our country has earned countless spiritual materials, such as demon beast materials, elixir spirit crystals and some special spiritual materials, and countless long-term terms have also been reached."

"If converted into spirit crystals, it is worth about 100,000 grams of amethys, as well as the demon beast materials we imported, according to the agreement, within a year, we can get 7,000 second-order demon beasts alone, and the first-order demon beasts directly exceed 100,000."

Hearing this, Zhou Xinming was also stunned for a moment, 100,000 grams of spirit crystal is not a small number, even if it is today's OUC, the daily output of spirit crystal is about 450 grams, and OUCC is also the country with the highest output of spirit crystal in the world.

Of course, this is because the spirit mine located in Hutou Mountain has not been developed, but at this stage, OUCC still plans to raise the spirit crystals there, so it is unlikely to be developed in the next few years.

Therefore, the spiritual materials provided by foreign countries are very impressive in terms of numbers, especially Taka and Silla are the best contributors in this regard, whether it is in terms of spiritual crystals or elixirs, they are eager to hollow out their country's various natural materials and treasures.

After all, these two countries are synonymous with poverty and madness, and they don't regard their own citizens as human beings, so they naturally don't mind the consideration of the cultivation needs of most of the scattered cultivators and mortals in the country.

What's more, selling more spirit crystal elixirs in exchange for some elixirs can make the existing cultivators cultivate to a more enjoyable level, as for the increase in the number of cultivators? Then there's no need, just let that little bit of high-level and lucky people cultivate.

What's more, they have a large number of Cave Heaven Blessed Land in their territory, as well as a large Cave Heaven Blessed Land at the level of Hutou Mountain, so selling spirit crystal elixir and demon beast materials is not distressing at all, that is a crazy export.

Of course, in addition to normal countries such as the Europa League, other small countries actually do the same, but they are unlucky, and the large caves in their territory have not yet been discovered.

It is also with the "friendly support" of various countries that the spirit crystal industry of Oriental Union Corporation has developed rapidly, and those spirit crystals and elixirs shipped from abroad have been refined into various pills by the pill factory of Oriental Union.

The Zhuji Pill alone plans to refine more than 50,000 pieces in a short period of time, and at once, the Eastern Union Union has booked tens of thousands of cultivators, not to mention other pills, which is very amazing in quantity.

"By the way, Minister Zhou, Silla told us that they wanted to cooperate with us to develop the Lingjing mine in their territory." After chatting about the recent harvest, Han Dalong changed his words.

"Oh?" Zhou Xinming was slightly surprised when he heard it, but he didn't expect that Silla was already planning to start digging up his country's spirit crystals before the Eastern Union had made a move.

The spirit mine can be said to be an old friend for Donglian, when it was in Hutou Mountain before, the 125 department, the predecessor of the Dongling Group, discovered a spirit mine of a large scale, and held several meetings to discuss it. (See Chapter 72 for details)

However, at that time, due to the limited technology and the slow progress of aura recovery, OUCC kept the spiritual mine and did not dig it, but conducted research for the purpose of experiments.

The corresponding Europa League is also this policy, although there are also large reserves of spiritual ores in the blessed land of Pell Cave, but the Elena government also did not dig them up, but studied them for scientific research purposes.

It seems that Silla can't wait to develop the spirit mine, and turn the raw ore inside into spirit crystals to exchange for money, talismans, pills and other cultivation resources.

Of course, this is also understandable, after all, the Europa League is an old developed country, and the Eastern Union Union is about to become an emerging star in the developed country, the foundation of the two is very thick, and there will be no lack of money to rush to dig up the spirit crystal, rather than digging it out, it is better to raise it again.

But Silla is different, the country's economy has been on the verge of collapse, the industrial system basically no longer exists, rather than guarding a pile of wealth that is not there, it is better to replace some obsolete production lines and aid from OUC.

Silla's move is naturally a good thing for the Eastern Union, after all, no one in the whole world has ever had the experience of developing the spirit crystal vein, even if Zhou Xinming had not dug it in the Biyun Immortal Sect in his previous life, but he had only heard of it.

Therefore, if Silla wants to help OUCC accumulate experience in developing spiritual mines, then OUCC will naturally laugh at it, anyway, it is not its own territory, and it doesn't matter what it looks like.

What's more, this can also allow OUCC to collect a large amount of spirit crystals, which plays a significant role in the refining of pills and talismans, the production of spirit energy detectors, spirit energy rifles and spirit crystal explosives, and the development of the spirit crystal industry.

"Okay, let the two sides negotiate things first, all the treaties have been negotiated, and then arrange a special plane for me, and I will personally go to Pingshi to have a look."

"I understand, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has already negotiated with them, and the results will come out soon, and I will inform you as soon as possible."

……..

May 20, 2026, Silla, capital

After dragging on for several days, Zhou Xinming finally took his special plane and came to the blessed land of Dongtian in the Silla area.

However, because the country's infrastructure work is relatively backward and the number of airports is pitiful, they have no plans to build airports around the Dongtian Blessed Land, so Zhou Xinming had to land in their capital first, and then take a car to transfer to the Dongtian Blessed Land.

"Hello Representative Zhou, I'm Kang Won-seung, chairman of the Silla Shujin Committee, and this is Kim Won-jin, Minister of Foreign Economy, welcome to Silla." As soon as Zhou Xinming got off the plane, a black-haired man with a lofty spirit came over to greet him, surrounded by more than a dozen people.

"Representative Jiang, Mr. Jin, I haven't seen you for a long time, compared with last time, Representative Jiang's realm has done a lot, and the true yuan mana in the whole body is unfathomable."

"Don't dare to be, at present, I'm still stuck at the 2nd order and don't know the essentials, how dare I compare with a peerless master like Representative Zhou, isn't that the class getting an axe, anyway, Representative Zhou, are you about to break through the legendary 4th order recently......."

After a few casual chats about cultivation in the VIP room, the two of them went to the nearby spiritual mine discovery site under the protection of a huge convoy of dozens of infantry fighting vehicles and police vehicles.

Compared to Hutou Mountain in the Eastern Union and Pell Park in Eyre, the construction work in this blessed land of Silla is much more simple, with no bustling construction sites and bustling neighborhoods, only a few lonely white buildings like factories scattered around.

Sentences beginning with a string of ghost-like characters are generally written on the roofs of these buildings in Goryeo, but unfortunately Zhou Xinming has never learned or been exposed to Goryeo in his previous life or in this life, so he looked at the surrounding cities that were also darkly lit.

The reason why even the capital is in total darkness is because of the local power shortage, which is also one of the main reasons for the collapse of the local economy.

The collapse of the Socialist Union in the 90s brought about a lack of fossil fuels, first destroying their electricity system, and then an entire industrial and agricultural system.

Even if they are now exporting a large number of elixir spirit crystals to the Eastern Union Union in exchange for a large amount of aid, they have not been able to recover from this blow, and the evil consequences of the oil system left by the Social League here have still not been completely shaken off by them.

On the other hand, the spirit mine was the same as the city and the cave blessed land, it was still pitch black, and only a small number of high-intensity searchlights imported from the Eastern Union Union shone a few dazzling white lights on the open space in the center of the base.

"I heard that you plan to start a spirit mine development project with us, I don't know what the situation is now, roughly how many spirit crystals are there?"

"This has to be explained by your experts, we have summarized the relevant reports with them, and we have to trouble Professor Zhang and others." Jiang Yuansheng smiled, and then took Zhou Xinming to an army-green tent in front of him, where many experts and cultivators were seated.

"Hello Minister Zhou." After Zhou Xinming arrived, several experts from the Eastern Union Union hurriedly saluted, and then said: "At present, according to our exploration results, the scale of this spiritual mine is slightly smaller than that of Hutou Mountain, but the relative level is much higher than that of Hutou Mountain a year ago. ”

"First of all, according to recent research investigations, this mine covers an area of 194 square kilometers, and its reserves are about 2.7 million tons to 4.2 million tons.

(See Chapter 72 for details)

"As for the relevant detailed data, we have not yet obtained, but the data at this stage is still very impressive, plus it is an open-pit mine like Hutou Mountain, and the excavation operation is easy to carry out, and the daily output can be mentioned as 70 tons."

"Of course, the premise is that there are supporting equipment and technical personnel, as well as stable power supply and road facilities, etc., so that we can increase the daily output of the spiritual ore to 70 tons within half a year, and can transport the raw ore."

The implication of this expert is well known that Silla did not have enough heavy equipment and technical personnel, and the surrounding infrastructure did not support large-scale mining work.

The expressions of several Silla officials were also a little embarrassed, after all, they themselves knew the conditions of their country best, and digging spiritual mines should be a high-tech thing, so was Silla's power and equipment really good?
