Ye Shu, Yan Changlan and Xiao Ming were sitting in the carriage, and there was a little noisy outside.

Xiao Ming said, "I'll go out and have a look."

Yan Changlan nodded to him: "If you have any doubts, you can come back and discuss with me."

Xiao Ming agreed and went out.

Soon, Xiao Ming came in again and found an extra picture album in his hand and handed it to the good man: "Senior Brother, Fellow Daoist Shi, please read it." While opening the picture album for the two, he explained, "The one who blocked the road was a few casual cultivators. Because of lack of resources, they sought a living near the iron ore. This picture album was the way they thought of."

It turned out that several streets were drawn in detail on the album. Each street had several shops, and several lines of small words were written near the shops, and the names of those shops were roughly explained.

This picture occupies two sides. After turning this side, there is a picture on each page at the back. The picture draws the scene inside the shop. The opposite side of the picture is densely packed with handwriting. It is to carefully explain what the shop is doing, how it is running, and what customers who are waiting for here want to know.

After Ye Shu read it, he secretly praised the thoughts of these casual cultivators.

They are also good at seizing opportunities. With this picture album, at least before the iron ore is dug up, they can exchange them for a certain amount of money to maintain their practice.

After Yan Changlan admired the picture album, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

The picture album is extremely exquisite, which shows that those casual cultivators work particularly hard... If he had not joined the Baixiao Sect and had never met Azhuo, he would probably have to live without the protection of the sect and he had to make a living. After all, he was different from Azhuo. Apart from a little bit of martial arts, he did not understand all miscellaneous studies. He was useless and had no skill.

Thinking about it, he was really useless.

Then, Yan Changlan asked about the price of this picture album.

Xiao Ming replied: "Two taels of silver and one volume."

The more Yan Changlan felt that making money was not easy - selling twenty copies could only earn forty taels of silver, the more difficult it was.

However, this thought only flashed by, and his attention was still above the iron spirit.

After iron ore is calcined, it is refined into iron. Ten iron is calcined into fine iron, and hundreds of fine iron is calcined into iron essence.

Since this town is formed by the gathering of iron ore, most of the shops are mainly sold. The shop owners have very different abilities, so the types of iron sold are also different.

Some of the most common iron shops sell only ores mined directly from the iron ore. They are sold by pounds. After buying them, they have to be refined by themselves. When they go back, they have to be refined by themselves. If they buy the refined iron directly, there are impurities in this iron. If they only make tools, they will have to be refined several times. The more high-end ones are refined iron, which can be used to create magic weapons used by ordinary people. The highest-level ones are iron essence, which is usually used to refine magic weapons.

However, iron essence also has quality. Based on a hundred calcination, it is a low-grade iron essence; when it reaches more than five hundred calcination, it is a medium-grade iron essence; if it has been calcined thousands, it is a high-grade. Not all iron can be calcined more than a hundred times. If it cannot, the iron essence cannot be extracted, let alone achieve the highest-grade thousand calcined ones.

The reason why this iron ore attracted so much attention from monks is not only because it is a rich ore, but also because it is not a single vein, but a combination of multiple iron ores, including a large amount of purple-yang iron, which is the best iron and can reach thousands of calcinations.

Xiao Ming had never been here. After reading the picture album, he couldn't help but ask: "Fellow Daoist Shi, what kind of iron spirit is what Master Ling wants?"

Ye Shu said without hesitation: "It's the purple yang iron essence."

Xiao Ming knew it.

In other words, you need a top-quality product with a thousand calcined ones.

It is not surprising that a weapon refiner with such superb skills is naturally striving for excellence in refining weapons. Where can ordinary iron spirits satisfy him? Of course, you have to buy the best iron spirits.

After thinking about it, Xiao Ming said, "There are only three or four stores in the Ziyang Iron Essence, and the total number is not much. If you want to buy it, I am afraid that several stores will have to leave."

Yan Changlan said: "It's okay. There are still more time, so let's choose slowly."

Ye Shu deeply agrees.

After talking, the few people had arrived near the town.

Therefore, it was originally in the suburbs and the ground was extremely large, so the roads in the small towns that gathered were also very wide.

The carriage went straight in without any obstacles.

Thinking of staying here for a few days, the group first went to the largest inn in the town, handed over the horses and vehicles to the store, and they took a short rest in their rooms, then walked out and went straight to the iron shops.

Around many iron shops and in many low stone houses, the sound of iron "clang" sounds endlessly.

If there were too many sounds in the ordinary mortal world, it would be very noisy, but it would be like this in this town, as if it had a special rhythm, which was a bit pleasant.

Ye Shu first walked into the iron shops that came from the Chen family, one of the major forces that divided the iron ore.

As soon as I entered the iron shop, it was exactly the same as what I painted in the picture album.

The shop is very large, with dozens of tall shelves on both sides. Most of them have iron embryos, iron ore and other substances on them. There are also a few shelves with fine iron, and iron essence of different quality, which is really complete.

Ye Shu walked directly to the front of the most colored iron essence and asked, "What is the price of Ziyang iron essence?"

The iron essence here is mostly condensed into beads. Each particle is about the size of a thumb and may not be round, but if you weigh it, each particle is about one pound.

Logically speaking, the price of iron essence should be thousands of times the value of iron extracted, but I don’t know how to calculate it here.

When the manager in the store saw Ye Shu's attitude, he could tell that he really wanted to buy it, and his smile on his face became more attentive: "The Ziyang Iron Essence is the best Iron Essence, one piece of ten taels of silver, and it is perfect for the old man."

Ye Shu nodded: "How many iron spirits are there in your store?"

The manager was moved, and after a little calculation, he replied: "Iron spirit is rare, but it can still be taken out for 100,000 pounds in the store."

Ye Shu said, "Since it's only 100,000 or 200,000 kilograms, I'll eat them all."

The manager was suddenly surprised.

Where did the wealthy people come from? They even wanted to eat up 100,000 kilograms? I don’t know what they should do? After counting, 100,000 kilograms will cost 100,000 kilograms, which is not a small amount.

Ye Shu took out a stack of silver notes directly.

The income from selling the array plates was not used up before, and now it is ready to be used.

When the manager saw that this person could take it out, he didn't dare to neglect it at the moment, so he asked a few guys to go to the back secret warehouse to take out all the top-grade iron essences. The dense iron essence beads were placed in the storage bag. After Ye Shu saw it, he transferred it to the Hunyuan beads.

Then, all the banknotes were in charge.

The transactional thing is 180,000 kilograms of iron essence.

Ye Shu naturally knew that there must be a fraction of the store, but he didn't care.

Anyone who opens a store must keep a hand, otherwise if there are any customers coming, there is no corresponding thing and the store will be shameless...

Next, Ye Shu and his party also walked through the remaining several big shops.

Unexpectedly, the purple-yang iron essence in each store was only more than 100,000 kilograms. When Ye Shu bought them all, there were 600,000 kilograms, which cost six or seven million silver notes.

So much so that after buying all the purple yang iron essence, Ye Shu only had more than one million silver notes left. The rest were gold leaves, stored in the Hunyuan Beads.

This is not over yet, Ye Shu goes to those small shops again.

It was not limited to having to ask for Ziyang Iron Essence. He bought some of the other iron spirits that were not produced much and could reach the top grade. After he finished all the shops, he spent nearly one million taels to go out.

Then, Ye Shu had more than 400,000 silver notes left.

Such a large-scale purchase naturally attracted the attention of many people. When someone checked their origin, he knew that Xiao Ming was from the Xiao family in Baishi City, and also knew that Yan Changlan probably came from the Baixiao Sect. As for Ye Shu, his origin was unknown, but since he had a friendship with the disciples of the Xiao family and Baixiao Sect, he thought he was also an outstanding person... Don't look at the fact that millions of taels of silver are quite a lot for ordinary people, but if that big force came to buy it, it would not be too strange.

Later, Xiao Ming took the initiative to take over this matter, saying that it was purchasing for the Xiao family, which made the attention much weaker.

Ye Shu and Yan Changlan looked at each other and knew what the Xiao family did.

When Xiao Ming saw that the two of them were grateful, he was secretly happy.

After purchasing, someone suddenly came to the door.

Xiao Ming wanted to get along with Ye Shu, and he was Yan Changlan's junior brother, so he took the initiative to contact strangers.

After being very polite, the man asked, "I wonder how many of you are interested in prospecting?"

Xiao Ming raised his eyebrows: "What is prospecting?"

Ye Shu and Yan Changlan didn't know either - the picture album was not mentioned.

The man smiled and said, "Although this mine is an iron ore, some strange things have been born deep in the mine cave, wrapped in a lot of iron and stone. These strange things are difficult to mine. After trying hard to extract them, some are lucky to get precious things, some are bad luck, and what they get is waste. If the former is naturally good, but if the latter is time-consuming and labor-intensive, it is not worth it. Therefore, the owner of the iron ore outsources several mine caves that seem to have strange things to some wealthy people, and those wealthy people have created such a

The exploration trick. If someone likes it, he can go to a mine cave and find a wall with strange things to mine. The things that are mined belong to the prospector... Of course, if that thing is precious, it is feasible to sell it on the spot." His voice was a bit intriguing, "Earlier, some monks found a piece of red gold in the mine cave, some people found iron amber, and even those who dug out iron beard grass, all of which made a lot of money. Seeing that the few people are not weak, I wonder if they are interested in prospecting?"

Yan Changlan was really interested, but he came here to accompany Ye Shu this time. If Ye Shu didn't go, he wouldn't go.

Xiao Ming was also interested, but he also followed the other two people's plans.

Therefore, the one who needs to make a decision now is Ye Shu.

He thought for a moment: "Then go."
