The guard member asked in confusion. Li Yang smiled bitterly and said, “It’s fine, it’s fine!”

“By the way, what’s your name?”

Li Yang pretended to ask casually. It was not that Li Yang was timid, but the strength that this guard member displayed so far was almost no match for him. The behemoth, Good-for-nothing, could not even do it. Perhaps the space dragon could deal with it. However, the dragon went off somewhere. He did not have the means to summon the space dragon.

“My Lord, my name is Zang Jian!”

Zang Jian bent down and answered slowly. At this moment, Li Yang officially took a good look at the person in front of him. Zang Jian was about 1.78 meters tall. He was of medium build and had exaggerated muscles. He must have trained regularly. He was about 20 years old and looked average.

He was the kind of person who could not be found in a crowd. However, he had a very obvious characteristic, which was that his bald head reflected light!

“Zang Jian, what a good name!”

“Hehe!”

Zang Jian touched the big bald head and smiled honestly. If he did not release the sword aura that instantly killed a group of magic rock monsters, he would definitely have thought that this was a simple and honest guard or a farmer. Who knew that he actually had the strength of a sword saint?

Thinking of this, Li Yang was ready to find out Zang Jian’s background and why he came to the farm to be a guard. However, at this moment, Arthur ran over.

“Sir… sir… we…”

Arthur said while panting, which made Li Yang very unhappy. “What’s the big deal? Aren’t all the monsters eliminated?”

Seeing Li Yang’s expression, Arthur took a deep breath of relief and slowly said, “No, sir! We found a level two enchantment ore associated with the magic ore vein!”

“Level two enchantment ore?”

Li Yang was a little confused. After all, the school had not taught him before, so Li Yang followed Arthur to the enchantment mine to check it out.

The enchantment mine was in the innermost part of the magic ore. All the workers left the mine at that moment, and they saw red stones mixed into the original blue ore vein.

Arthur picked up a red ore the size of a palm and said, “Sir, this is the level two enchantment ore!”

Li Yang picked up the enchantment ore in front of him and began to see a large amount of enchantment ores. The ore was completely blood-red and seemed to be filled with blood that was constantly flowing.

“What is the use of this enchantment ore?”

“Sir, this enchantment ore could be refined into an enchantment stone!”

“Enchantment stone, is it very valuable?”

Arthur was stunned. As an absentee in exploring mineral veins, he thought Li Yang knew that there was nothing more exciting than finding an enchantment ore.

Arthur’s face turned red with excitement. He explained excitedly, “Sir, the value of this enchantment stone is secondary. This is a strategic resource!”

“Strategic resource? No, I’m concerned about whether it’s valuable!”

“Sir, the enchantment stone is a necessary item for enchantment on high-level weapons! Without the enchantment stone, high-level weapons could not be enchanted. Thus, enchanted weapons and weapons without enchantment are two extremes!”

“So it is very valuable?”

Li Yang was immediately energized after hearing Arthur’s explanation.

“Sir, it is not very valuable. It is extremely valuable. High-quality weapons need to be enchanted to have the quality of god-tier weapons. For example, the attributes of the Holy God, the Lightning attribute, and so on. An enchantment stone can be sold for at least 1,000 gold coins!”

“1,000 gold coins?”

Li Yang could not believe it.

“Yes, sir, and it’s at least 1,000 gold coins a piece!”

Hearing Arthur’s words, Li Yang instantly rolled up his sleeves and picked up the hoe at the side, ready to start digging.

“Hey, sir, what are you doing?”

Arthur hurriedly stopped Li Yang and asked in confusion.

“Mining, of course! 1,000 gold coins a piece!”

“Sir, this enchantment ore is very difficult to mine. You can’t use a hoe to discover it by force. You can only use your hands or a small shovel to slowly mine it because this enchantment ore is very fragile before it is refined into an enchantment stone. Furthermore, the enchantment power contained in it will quickly drain away if you unintentionally scratched the ore’s surface!”

“This enchantment ore is so difficult to mine.”

“Yes, sir. Currently, we can only mine about ten enchantment ores a day. However, we can extract one enchantment stone in three days!”

Hearing Arthur’s explanation, Li Yang was a little depressed. However, on second thought, 1,000 gold coins in three days was not unacceptable. A month was equivalent to 10,000 gold coins. In addition to the magic stones and various kinds of income, it seemed that 20,000 to 30,000 gold coins a month could also be reached.

“Alright, Arthur, you will take charge of the excavation work. When the time comes, I will give you a raise. From now on, 50 silver coins a month!”

Hearing Li Yang’s words, Arthur immediately thanked him.

After saying that, Li Yang was ready to go back. Li Yang sat on Red Rabbit and watched the busy scene as he fell into deep thought on the way back.

After all, the farm was now on the right track, gradually becoming very big. In the future, he would definitely recruit many farmers, workers, and guards.

Moreover, his farm was also very special. Not to mention other things, such as iron ore, magic ore, and recently discovered enchanted ore.

These three were basically strategic resources. Some of them could support the development of an empire.

It could be imagined that if his farm produced so many resources, there would be even higher-level magic beasts and perhaps groups of knights invading in the future.

Luther and the other guards could not only use normal equipment to defend against the upcoming invasion. Therefore, it was time to plan for the high-level resources.

Thinking of this, Li Yang also arrived at his residence.

“Master, you’re back!”

Ya Mei took Li Yang’s coat and greeted him with a smile.

However, Li Yang was thinking about a problem at this moment, so he did not tease the maid. Instead, Lia, who was at the side, noticed something strange and quickly asked, “Master, is there something bothering you that makes you unhappy?”

Hearing Lia’s enchanting words, Li Yang immediately became spirited and grabbed her slim waist. “Yes, the farm is getting bigger and bigger. Now that there are mines and many mineral veins discovered, I’m thinking about what to do.”

Lia smiled and slowly said, “Master, there is actually nothing to worry about. The farm is currently developing very well. I can foresee that it will have a bright future. However, we could only resist when the farm’s resources and output would be invaded more and without sufficient resources to build our own farm. I think we can use the mineral resources as strategic storage. This is very necessary. Of course, we can sell some of them appropriately.”

“Yes, that’s right! That’s what I’m thinking. We need to build a good set of equipment for Luther and the others first!”

“By the way, my Lord, the farm has entered the harvest season. The harvest will be ready in a few days.”
