Ye Shu had made a decision, so naturally he wanted to go.
The man hurriedly said: "To let you know that if you want to go prospecting, it will cost you a thousand taels of silver to go to a place, and for each additional person, it will cost an extra hundred taels of silver. If the three of you want to go to the same place together, you must You have to come up with one thousand two hundred taels of silver."
Xiao Ming said: "That's okay. Is it possible that we can't afford this little silver?" As he said this, he quietly looked at Ye Shu and Yan Changlan. Seeing that they were really calm, he knew that he was right. .
The man looked happy and immediately led the way: "In that case, how many of you will be invited to accompany me?"
Xiao Ming took the initiative to say hello: "Please."
Ye Shu and Yan Changlan followed behind reservedly, showing off their style.
The atmosphere created by the three people made the man's attitude more careful.
Not long after, they walked out of the town and came to an iron fence outside the town surrounded by many monks.
Looking from a distance, there is an dug depression inside the iron fence. After the surface soil was dug out, a mineral vein glowing with metallic light was exposed below. Many mine holes were drilled into this vein, and it was dark inside, with some men and women coming in and out from time to time. Among the men and women, there are different ages. Some are pushing mine carts. These people often have more tired faces, and some even look older. There are also many who are carrying baggage in and out. They look very strong and look good. Easier than the former.
Most of the people who mine ores here are poor mortals with enough strength. There are only some high-grade ores that must be mined by monks, and they are those who carry baggage. But despite this, monks with higher levels are not willing to do this mining work. If you occasionally see monks above the third level of Qi Refining, they must be from several powerful families in this mine.
Besides, the iron fence surrounding the outside probably took a long time to build, and it enclosed a huge piece of land inside, preventing outsiders from coveting the mineral veins. The monks guarding outside were from different families. They originally looked wary when Ye Shu and the others approached, but after the skinny old man who brought them over said a few words with a wrinkled face and a smile, they made way for them and let them go. .
The skinny little old man hurriedly claimed credit: "Look, the little old man only entertains the rich and noble people to enjoy the strange things. In front of the stationed monks, he has some dignity."
Xiao Ming smiled when he heard this and said, "Thank you for leading the way."
The skinny little old man chuckled: "They are also some people with strong financial resources, otherwise they usually can't afford the price. The little old man wouldn't dare to bring people in at will, right?"
After talking and joking for a while, we arrived at the mine.
There were many supervisors there. After the skinny old man went over to negotiate with them and stuffed some money with them, the supervisor smiled and pointed to the other end: "Three prospecting sites have been opened today. If you are interested, you can Go and have a look.”
The skinny little old man hurriedly flattered a few more, then turned back to Ye Shu and others, and said, "Come here, there are three mines to choose from."
Ye Shu and his party followed him and walked to three mines not far apart.
Yan Changlan asked: "Who will give the money to? What are the rules if you want to enter it?"
The skinny old man said: "There are people guarding the front of the mine. Just hand over the silver when you enter. In addition, you can only enter for six hours. Once the time is up, you have to leave. If you refuse to leave, someone will come in and expel you." , unless you pay more money, you can continue to stay... There are no other rules."
Xiao Ming couldn't help but be speechless: "A thousand taels of silver can only buy six hours. Those wealthy people are really good at business."
The skinny little old man said with a sneer: "Within six hours, you can choose the strange things in the mine. You can take away as many as you can. If you can't take out even one piece, you can also take it from the guard of the cave when you leave. Pick a piece out of it. If someone is smart enough to dig out several pieces in a short time, wouldn’t it be a big profit?”
Ye Shu twitched the corner of his mouth slightly and remained unmoved.
This seems to make sense, but there are not many strange things in the mine, and mining is extremely difficult. Otherwise, if others take them away, wouldn’t the owner of the mine suffer too much?
Businessmen pursue profits, so the so-called "rich people" are just a gimmick.
Yan Changlan and Xiao Ming also saw something about it, but for them, this time they just came here to gain experience. It would be better if they could open something strange. If they couldn't, they wouldn't necessarily be disappointed.
Soon a few people chose a mine and walked in. They gave their banknotes at the door, and the skinny little old man led them into the cave.
Ye Shu and others were new here and didn't know much about the strange things. They still needed some guidance from the little old man to know how to mine them later.
Inside the mine, there is some iron color on the left and right.
Most of them are dark gray, but there are also a lot of red and purple lights, which come from different iron types. But iron ore is iron ore, where are the strange things?
It is indeed very rare.
After walking about ten feet deep, the skinny little old man pointed to a spot on the mine wall and said, "Guys, please take a look, this is a sign that there is something strange inside."
Ye Shu looked over and saw a layer of yellow-gray moss on the surface of the mine wall, which looked very hard. He thought about it and didn't recognize what kind of moss it was, but since the people in the mine regarded it as a sign, its appearance must be related to something strange.
as big as World, nothing is nonexistent.
Although Ye Shu had never seen such a thing in ancient books, now that he had seen it, he would write it down.
Xiao Ming actually asked about the yellow and gray moss.
The skinny little old man said: "I don't know the reason for this thing. It's just that all the strange things dug out in the past have this thing outside. Once you see this thing and dig along, you can find it 90% of the time." It’s just something strange.”
After the introduction, the skinny old man said goodbye and left.
The three of them were left looking at the yellow-gray moss with different thoughts.
Yan Changlan said: "Ah Zhuo, do you want to dig it out and take a look? Or look for a few more places and pick them out?"
Ye Shu said: "I didn't know what was in it, so I just dug it up."
Yan Changlan looked at Xiao Ming again.
Xiao Ming smiled and said: "This time, my foolish brother is just a companion. He didn't contribute any money, he just contributed his strength. Fellow Taoist Master Shi will make the final decision."
So, Yan Changlan followed Ye Shu's words, took out the wooden sword that Ye Shu had made for him, injected it with magic power, and dug hard at the place where the yellow-gray moss was.
There was only a "dang" sound, and the wooden sword was like piercing fine iron. It only made a very shallow pit, which showed that the yellow-gray moss was extremely stubborn and difficult to dig out.
Yan Changlan was a little surprised.
Ye Shu said: "Although the wooden sword is sharp, it may not be very effective at this time."
Xiao Ming thought for a while and took out his magic weapon.
The origin of this magic weapon was that his family had collected a batch of excellent low-grade magic weapons before, so he was able to choose one as a reward. He didn't originally have a favorite weapon, but later he thought about establishing a good relationship with Yan Changlan, who was learning swordsmanship, so he picked a magic sword, intending to pick a sword and practice it after returning to the clan. I'm looking for opportunities, please give me some advice from Yan Changlan.
Although the swordsmanship instruction is not used to build relationships now, it has other uses.
This sword is of extremely high quality among low-grade magical weapons, and coincidentally, the restrictions engraved on this sword actually exploded! So if Yan Changlan uses this sword to use the Thunder Sword Technique, which has the bonus of violent power, and then explodes it, it will be much easier to explode the mine wall than they originally thought!
Then, Ye Shu took the sword and handed it to the person beside him: "Chang Lan, I want to see your sword skills."
Hearing this, Yan Changlan felt a little excited, and then laughed loudly: "I will not let A Zhuo down."
The next moment, Yan Changlan asked the two of them to step back, and right in front of the mine wall, he used the Wind and Thunder Sword Technique!
This time, the two swords were not united, so there was only thunder but no wind.
But just as a few people thought, the thunder and explosion combined, and there was a fierce roar as soon as it hit the mine wall! When the sound erupted, countless iron ore fragments flew up and scattered in all directions like hidden weapons. The force was terrifying. If someone was accidentally hit by it, they would be injured!
Xiao Ming's throat moved and he swallowed.
He never thought that the power of breaking the restriction and using the Thunder Sword Technique would be stronger than he thought in advance!
If it were used on the opponent... I'm afraid if the sword stabbed hard, the opponent's entire body would explode!
The piece of yellow-gray moss on the mine wall was broken into pieces, revealing an ugly piece of iron with a bumpy surface inside.
This piece of iron seems to be the strange thing that the skinny little old man said?
No matter what, Yan Changlan used some more strength to dig it out.
Then he used his sword skills again and directly cut open the iron block——
Inside the iron block, there was an iron-gray grass about three inches long. It was only a thin branch. It even seemed a little weak, but it attracted the attention of several people.
Xiao Ming couldn't help but lost his voice and said: "Is this - iron beard grass?"
Isn't that long and thin thing just like a whisker? The iron beard grass grows inside the iron block and absorbs the iron essence to grow, which is extremely strange. Once this kind of grass is used in a magic weapon, it can reduce the conflict between any iron materials and increase the number of successful moldings of the weapon embryos. It can be called one of the favorite spiritual grasses of weapon refiners.
Ye Shu seemed to be in a good mood: "This thing can be taken back and given to Master."
Xiao Ming really wanted to buy the iron beard grass, but after Ye Shu said this, he couldn't bring it up anymore.
——Forget it, an outstanding weapon refiner is much more important than Iron Beard Grass.
Yan Changlan saw Ye Shu putting away the iron beard grass and said: "I have good luck today. Now I only spent three rays of mana. It will only take less than half an hour. If I search for a few more places, it will be more than enough time."
Ye Shu said: "Now that I'm here, I can't let you down."
Everyone knows what they must not let down.
Then they looked for the yellow-gray moss together, and also looked for new strange things.
However, the strange objects in the mine were really hard to find, and it wasn't until more than half an hour later that they found another one. It's a pity that after digging out this place, I only got a piece of iron essence weighing less than ten kilograms, which is neither good nor bad.
After another hour, I got the third piece, which was also a piece of heavy iron essence; after another half an hour, I got the fourth piece...
