Wizard: Building a Cultivation Family from Scratch

Gordon suddenly understood the other party's intention.

"Do you think there are high-level materials in here?"

"yes!"

Orianna nodded excitedly, then simply dumped everything out of the package.

Gordon looked closely and found that it was filled with various colored ores, shells, bones of unknown creatures, and other random things...

"I took these from the warehouse; maybe I'll find some good stuff!"

Looking at the scattered items, Gordon couldn't help but feel a little helpless.

He really wanted to say, "If there were really anything valuable inside, the Roland family wouldn't be so poor..."

But seeing Orianna's excited expression, he swallowed his words.

"I must warn you, qualified refining materials are not easy to find, so you'd better not have too high hopes..."

As he spoke, Gordon lowered his head and began rummaging through the pile of junk in front of him.

Okay, as expected, there wasn't much good stuff...

With just a glance, he knew that most of these things were just ordinary objects and had no value whatsoever.

However, just as Gordon was about to give up the search, a piece of ore with mottled colors and only half the size of a palm caught his attention.

"What is this?"

Upon hearing Gordon's question, Oriana assumed that he had discovered something valuable and quickly came closer.

But she quickly showed a slight look of disappointment:

"This is a type of mineral called 'mixed crystal,' named for the various colors on its surface."

After saying that, she glanced at Gordon, hesitated for a moment, and then continued:

"My ancestor, I have seen descriptions of this kind of stone in books before."

This type of 'mixed crystal' contains trace amounts of magic power, and its production is limited in various regions, making it quite rare.

But for some reason, wizards don't seem to like this ore very much, so its price on the market is not high.

This mixed crystal, for example, is what I bought from a wandering merchant for 10 silver dollars.

Gordon nodded silently.

Just as Oriana said...

This seemingly chaotic stone does indeed contain a trace amount of spiritual energy.

Logically speaking, this kind of ore should be favored by extraordinary individuals.

But according to Oriana, the wizards of this world don't seem to care much about her.

  

However, after the initial confusion, Gordon quickly understood the reason:

Although this mineral, called "mixed crystal," contains a certain amount of magic, its properties are extremely chaotic, with various elements within it interfering with and canceling each other out.

Extracting it from this source would be extremely costly...

In this situation, it's understandable that wizards would choose to ignore it.

However, Gordon knew very well in his heart:

This type of mineral, called "mixed crystal," is actually very valuable!

The wizards have clearly underestimated its true value!

The reason is actually very simple.

The reason why wizards regard it as a "waste mine" is simply because the various elements contained within it interfere with each other, thus seriously affecting the efficiency of extraction and utilization.

but……

This only applies to wizards.

For cultivators, it's quite the opposite!

It's important to understand that the wizarding civilization in this world is largely based on a system of "elemental utilization."

If a wizard wants to have powerful combat capabilities, he must use his "spiritual power" to call upon the "elements" in the surrounding air, and then transform them through the magic model to finally form extremely destructive magic.

This is why almost all wizarding apprentices must undergo "mental strength" and "elemental affinity" tests when they first enter a wizarding school.

It is precisely for this reason that wizards place great importance on the "efficiency of utilization" of "various elements".

Many prominent wizards who have made significant contributions to the study of "magical theory" have even asserted that:

For a young wizarding apprentice to go far on the path of wizardry, unless they specialize in academic research, they must master a particular type of witchcraft...

Therefore, it is not surprising that ores like "mixed crystals," which contain a mixture of various elements and are difficult to extract and utilize individually, are neglected by wizards.

But interestingly...

For cultivators like Gordon, this "elementally mixed" ore is precisely the embodiment of "having all five elements"!

Furthermore, due to the mutual restraint of various elements within it, spiritual energy is difficult to leak out, and the total spiritual energy actually contained within it far exceeds that of a single-attribute ore.

It can be said that this is simply the key auxiliary material for refining "Five Elements Unification" type magic treasures and harmonizing the conflict between Yin and Yang!

This special natural mineral had another name in the cultivation world of my previous life:

Primordial Stone!

"I never thought I'd actually struck gold..."

Looking at the half of the multicolored ore lying on the bone hand, Gordon almost burst out laughing.

In his memory, a piece of such a Primordial Stone in his previous life could be exchanged for at least 10 single-attribute spirit stones of the same volume!

"Oriana, do you have any more of these stones?"

"what?"

Orianna paused, wondering what her ancestor was planning to do now.

"I think that's all..."

"So, can you still buy it? You said you bought it from a wandering merchant? Where is that guy now?"

"this……"

Orianna's expression was somewhat bitter:

"Ancestor, although this kind of stone is not expensive, the demand and production are not high."

If you're interested, I can have Uncle Granger send someone out to investigate..."

"Okay! Let's do it that way!"

Oriana had no idea what was wrong with Gordon.

But as the founder of the Roland family, every word he uttered was an order, and I had no choice but to carry it out...

At this moment, Gordon was completely caught up in excitement.

Because he suddenly realized that there must be many resources in this world similar to "mixed crystals," which are overlooked by wizards but extremely valuable to cultivators!

This is a huge fortune that no one has been interested in!

Gordon now fully understands why the wizards are so crazy about starting a planar war.

Just as he, as a cultivator, was able to unearth almost endless treasures after coming to this world.

Those wizards who have opened the gates to different dimensions will surely discover more secrets and resources in the depths of time and space!

"pity……"

Thinking of this, Gordon couldn't help but shake his head inwardly:

If those great cultivators from the previous life could also open dimensional portals to other worlds like the wizards of this world…

It's hard to imagine how far the entire cultivation civilization will eventually evolve...

And the cultivation family he personally established will surely leave a significant mark on the long river of time.

Of course, all of this is now impossible.

The only thing I can do right now is to rely on the Roland family, an ancient family with a history of over a thousand years, to stand at the pinnacle of the world once again!

"Lord Ancestor..."

However, just as Gordon was lost in his own thoughts about the future, Oriana's voice interrupted his reverie.

"Hmm? What's wrong?"

"There's something I need your help with... I've thought about it, and I'm considering asking you for a favor..."

Orianna hesitated for a moment before speaking.

"Speak!"

Gordon was in a great mood at this moment.

Furthermore, since he needed to rely on the other party to find the Hunyuan Stone for him, he readily agreed.

"Since you can enchant items... could you please enchant a few more sets of armor?"

The family armory happened to have some unused armor...

"sure!"

Gordon immediately agreed.

This request is very reasonable.

And even if Orianna hadn't mentioned it, she would have done it anyway.

After all, this can also enhance the strength of the Roland family to some extent.

The only problem is that "refining weapons" is a very energy-consuming process.

With his current cultivation level, he can probably only make two magical artifacts a day.

Moreover, one must endure the torment of "spiritual energy depletion" during this process.

"Thank you, Ancestor!"

Oriana seemed pleased after receiving Gordon's consent.

The "title transfer" that Parker proposed some time ago has been weighing on her mind, making her feel a little suffocated.

Once the Roland family possesses a large number of enchanted armors, their overall strength will inevitably leap to a whole new level!

At that time, no matter who it is, they will have no reason to force themselves to "transfer their titles"!

"I'll have someone bring up the 60 sets of standard equipment from the armory right now!"

"Okay, no problem..."

"etc!"

Gordon abruptly turned to look at Oriana.

The two flames of his soul in his eye sockets jumped up and down due to his overwhelming emotions.

"...What did you just say?!"

How many sets of equipment are there in total?
