"Is that so in principle?" Zhang Tie knew that the concrete operation might not be as optimistic and simple as he imagined.
"Castle Lord, there are some problems that you need to figure out!" Heller said calmly, "The daily output of aura value in Castle of Black Iron couldn't match the basic energy gained from the Abyss of Elements. If the aura value accumulated by Castle of Black Iron over the past few years is not included, the daily increase of aura value in Castle of Black Iron could only match the daily increase of basic energy storage and support the constant expansion of Castle of Black Iron. However, Castle Lord doesn't lack merit value!"
"Castle Lord, you need to know a few more points. First, the mineral resources provided by Castle of Black Iron are generated randomly in the process of the earth's surface. Additionally, 1,000 square miles' land is just the minimum requirement for the mineral resources to be generated in Castle of Black Iron. Therefore, the mineral resources could only be generated in some cases. Even if it's a gold mine, Castle Lord, don't expect that it could produce hundreds of tons of gold. It's impossible. Even if it really produces gold, it could only produce a few tons of gold at most. The larger the area of land generated at one time, the greater the variety and scale of the mineral veins contained in the land. "
"Second, Castle of Black Iron only has less than 10 kinds of mineral templates. The first two come from some low-grade iron ores and crystal ores that Castle Lord gained in the survival training in Wild Wolf Valley. The latter minerals come from some crystal ores and common minerals that Castle Lord gained casually in the Earth-elements Realm. If you want Castle of Black Iron to produce more kinds of mineral resources, Castle Lord has to provide corresponding mineral templates for Castle of Black Iron. The higher the grade of the mineral is, the more aura value and merit value it would require. Additionally, due to the randomness of the formation of mineral veins in Castle of Black Iron, even though Castle Lord has invested a great amount of aura value and merit value in it, the new mineral veins could not be guaranteed to be of high grade. The more aura value and merit value you inject into it, the more likely you would gain high-quality mineral veins from the new land. However, there's an upper limit to this probability …"
In this case, Heller would always be as meticulous as a precise difference engine to make Zhang Tie "sober".
After hearing Heller's words, Zhang Tie indeed sobered up a lot; however, he didn't give up his thought.
"I've already ordered plant seeds. However, I've not imagined that I could gain a piece of God's Star and solve the bottleneck of basic energy in Castle of Black Iron. The problem of insufficient aura value is indeed a problem; however, it's not unsolvable!" Zhang Tie said as he ran his mental arithmetic ability. Closely after that, he got a figure, "The basic energy storage that Castle of Black Iron absorbs each month is enough for Castle of Black Iron to expand 900 square miles' land as thick as the earth's crust. If I only need the new land to maintain the current thickness of 200 m, it would take me only 30 days to form 225000 square miles' land. Am I right?"
"Yes!"
"Is the current aura value and merit value enough for Castle of Black Iron to complete such an expansion one month later?"
"Castle Lord, you've got enough merit value. However, even after one month, the aura value of Castle of Black Iron could only complete the expansion of 150,000 square miles!"
"150,000 square miles it is!" Zhang Tie waved his hand forcefully as he made a decision in a split second, "No matter what, there are not too many people in Castle of Black Iron. They don't have a great demand for ores. Let's spread out a big cake and scatter the seeds of plants and trees onto it. As long as the aura value produced by Castle of Black Iron could match the daily increase of basic energy storage in Castle of Black Iron and constantly support the expansion of Castle of Black Iron, we will succeed. After solving this problem, I will think about the merit value!"
"Castle Lord, do you plan to expand and perfect Castle of Black Iron rapidly in the future?"
"Yes, I think so. After what happened in Xuanyuan Hill, I'm afraid that Taixia Country would grow more and more chaotic in the future. I might have to bring my family members and those who could be saved in one day. It's never a bad thing to make more preparations!"
Zhang Tie then started to negotiate with Heller about the details of the expansion of Castle of Black Iron one month later. After the negotiation, Zhang Tie suddenly recalled something as he asked Heller, "Oh, Han Yuanhong and Han Zhengfang should have more than one piece of God's Star. I remember that Han Zhengfang dropped a bronze token when he died …"
"They indeed have more than one piece of God's Star. Castle Lord, you've made a great achievement this time. It's out of my imagination. All those items are in the treasury of the palace tree. Castle Lord, you'd better take a look there yourself. You might have a surprise!" Heller said with a profound meaning.
Last time, Heller mentioned surprise because of this piece of God's Star. Zhang Tie wondered what surprise Heller was talking about this time.
Zhang Tie's curiosity was aroused by Heller's words at once. He patted the thunder hawk and had it fly off, saying, "I really have to go back and count my achievements!"
"Castle Lord, you will not be disappointed!" Heller replied with a smile.
After throwing another glance at the Abyss of Elements in front of him, Zhang Tie left there …
…
After a few minutes, Heller and Zhang Tie returned to the lobby of the palace tree. When they came to the lobby, Zhang Tie stopped his footsteps. He didn't rush to the treasury; instead, he circled around the small tree and observed it carefully.
The fruit of brilliance on the small tree became darker and almost pitch-black as if it could absorb all the surrounding light. In the pitch-black, the fruit was like a starry sky. The fruit was covered with numerous stars which formed a bizarre spiral light belt which gave out unpredictable luster like a galaxy in the universe. Zhang Tie had not seen such a fruit of brilliance before. However, Zhang Tie could sense the terrifying spiritual energy contained in this fruit of brilliance, which was far greater than that of any fruit of brilliance that he had ever eaten before.
Besides this fruit of brilliance, there were three fruits of judgment.
At the sight of the three fruits of judgment, Zhang Tie knew that the three fruits of judgment could definitely promote his mirror separation skill from preliminary level to super level. After the three fruits of judgment, this small tree could only bear master-level mirror separation skill.
The red-and-black fruit of bloodline, which looked like a 16-sided gem, was hidden behind the shrubs of the small tree. If one didn't look carefully, it would be hard to discover it. Like the fruit of brilliance that had turned dark, this fruit of bloodline also showed something special. Besides being much larger than before, the entire fruit of bloodline was flashing with rainbow-like brilliance from time to time.
'When I killed Old Monster Qi last time, I got a fruit of bloodline, which contained 1784 points of bloodline energy. I used 67 points of bloodline energy to activate a basic "spear affinity", leaving 1717 points of bloodline energy. This fruit of bloodline would definitely bring me much more bloodline energy than that of the previous one. After killing Old Monster Qi, an earth knight, I could get 1784 points of bloodline energy. After killing Han Zhengfang, I should get at least two times more bloodline energy than that of last time.'
Besides these fruits, there were two more fruits of redemption on the small tree.
Watching those bizarre fruits, Zhang Tie knew that he had definitely made a fortune this time. After taking these fruits, his battle strength would definitely surge once again. The fruit of brilliance, the fruit of bloodline and the fruit of judgment were all extraordinary.
'Besides these fruits, I've not fully refined the water elements that I absorbed from Han Zhengfang and Han Zhengfang into my own chakra.'
Zhang Tie revealed a brilliant smile. He was not in a hurry to eat them; instead, after circling around the small tree and counting these fruits, he left the small tree and followed Heller to the treasure bank delightfully.
Zhang Tie's treasure vault was at the bottom of the palace tree. The entire treasure vault covered about 100,000 square meters and was higher than 50 m. There was a golden fluorite crystal lamp in every few meters, which made the entire treasure vault bright and dazzling. The entire treasure vault was divided into four regions, each of which was filled with various rarities that Zhang Tie had gained from subcontinents and places. If a commoner came to Zhang Tie's treasure vault for the first time, he might have been so thrilled that he would have a heart attack the moment he saw those items. He would have thought that he had come to the legendary paradise which was covered with rarities.
Precious metals such as gold and silver were the most common items in the Treasures Pavilion. However, the gold in Zhang Tie's Treasures Pavilion was not packed in boxes; instead, they were piled up high like wheat straws in the threshing ground in the countryside. Each pile was 4-5 m high like glittering Mongolian yurts. Anyone who entered the Treasures Pavilion would see dozens of tidy Mongolian yurts extending to the far from the entrance at the first sight …
