There are a lot of iron ore and black iron ore in the Ye Family Stone Workshop, and Ye Lingyue shunned two of them, which won't attract any attention.
Just now Ye Lingyue watched carefully from the side. Cutting and refining iron ore is really laborious. A martial artist at the fifth level of body refining can only extract at most three pieces of rough refining black iron stones in a day at the speed just now. .
Moreover, the purity of the black iron inside is only 30% to 40%, which is simply thankless.
Ye Lingyue thought about it, the dry cauldron can purify herbs and swallow impurities, maybe it can be used to refine black iron ore.
Ye Lingyue found a remote place and started refining black iron ore.
The piece of palm-sized black iron ore in his hand was sucked into the dry cauldron with a "pop".
After about half a quarter of an hour, Ye Lingyue's palm had a piece of silver iron the size of a pebble.
She hastily tested it with the tripod breath.
"Fifty percent!" Ye Lingyue's hands couldn't help shaking, it's amazing, the thing in her hand is actually a refined black iron stone with a purity of 50%.
Just now, Ye Sheng also said that the Yejia Stone Workshop can only refine black iron stones to 30% to 40%, and 50% refined black iron stones, but only some rich and powerful chambers of commerce in the county can refine them.
If a group of five rough fighters in the processing plant saw this, they would be envious and jealous.
Ye Lingyue tried again and refined the iron ore. The purity of the refined iron ore was as high as 60%.
Moreover, Ye Lingyue also found that after refining two pieces of ore, the aura in her dry cauldron was much thicker than when she refined the Juyuan liquid earlier.
It seems that refining the ore is helpful to the cohesion of the Ding Qi, but correspondingly, it consumes a lot of energy.
With Ye Lingyue's fifth level of body refining, she can only refine black iron ore about five times a day.
Ye Lingyue put away the refined black iron, and wandered around the Ye Family Stone Workshop again.
At this time, she saw a crowd of people gathered in front of her, her eldest cousin Ye Sheng and several stewards of the stone workshop were discussing something.
"Master Ye Sheng, the purity of this batch of black iron ore is as high as 40%, but it is rare to see a good product in ten years. If it is not that I am short of money, I will not sell it to Yejiashifang." A foreign businessman said. The man and Ye Sheng are bargaining.
Ye Sheng had just been patrolling the stone workshop when he happened to meet this businessman surnamed Chen.
He claimed to be a quarryman in a neighboring town. He had collected a batch of high-quality black iron ore in the mountains a while ago. It was sent to Yejia Shifang and wanted to get rid of it.
Forty percent pure black iron raw ore is not an ordinary commodity. The entire Ye family mine may not be able to dig more than a hundred catties a year.
This quarryer surnamed Chen has more than a thousand catties on hand. If it is refined again, it will be sold to the county town at that time, which will be a profitable business.
Seeing this, Ye Sheng couldn't help being a little bit moved. He found several quarry masters in the stone workshop and took a closer look. Everyone felt that there was nothing wrong with the color or weight of this batch of ore, and it should be genuine.
It's just that the merchant's asking price is a bit high, for a thousand catties of raw ore, the asking price is 20,000 taels of gold.
This amount is fully comparable to Ye Family Stone Workshop's annual profit. If something goes wrong, Ye Sheng can't afford it.
Ye Sheng's original intention was to invite Ye Huangyun to come over to make the decision, but the businessman surnamed Chen said that he was in a hurry to spend the money, and if he had to wait, he would go to the opposite Song's stone workshop and sell it, and he couldn't wait for a quarter of an hour.
Speaking of the Song family, everyone in Qiufeng Town knew that the Song family and the Ye family were notorious rivals.
In terms of family history, the Ye family is much older in Qiufeng Town than the Song family. The Song family is a family that has only risen in the past 100 years, but the head of the Song family is also a strong person at the peak of the day after tomorrow. His strength was almost the same as that of Ye Guxian.
Whether it is the mine or the supply of black iron ore, the two have been fighting to the death.
If this batch of high-quality black iron ore is sold to the Song family, then Ye Sheng will really become the eternal sinner of the Ye family.
"We want this batch of black iron ore, but the stone workshop can't get 20,000 taels of gold at once. I can only scrape together 5,000 taels of gold as a deposit. The rest of the money will be paid within three days." Make it up." Ye Sheng gritted his teeth, ordered someone to fetch five thousand taels of gold, and prepared to pay the money and deliver the goods.
As long as the Ye family can get this batch of high-quality black iron ore, they can earn 50,000 taels of gold as soon as they change hands.
After the businessman surnamed Chen heard this, a strange smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, which was caught by Ye Lingyue.
"Wait a minute, big cousin, can I take a look at those ores." At this moment, the crisp female voice cut in, very abruptly.
Everyone in the stone workshop suddenly felt their eyes light up, and a pretty girl in blue came out.
"Lingyue, what are you messing around with? You just came to Shifang for the first day, what do you know?" Ye Sheng was anxious to buy this batch of black iron ore, seeing Ye Lingyue's troublesome, his tone was very unhappy.
He stepped forward, grabbed Ling Yue with one hand, and was about to make her retreat.
Unexpectedly, Ye Lingyue stretched out two fingers, and lightly touched his wrist, Ye Sheng only felt a numbness in his wrist, and Ye Lingyue slipped away, and had already slipped past under his nose.
Being easily defeated by his cousin, Ye Sheng couldn't hold back anymore.
She picked up a "high-quality" black iron stone, and played with it a few times in her hands seemingly unintentionally.
The tripod breath in Ye Lingyue's hand has taken advantage of the trend and penetrated into the "high-quality" black iron stone.
Looking at it from this point of view, it is not trivial. In the so-called black iron stone, let alone black iron, there is even very little iron ore. These stones are only the outermost surface, with a layer of so-called black iron attached.
Such a clever fraud, no wonder even Ye Sheng and those quarry masters were mistaken.
With a cold snort, Ye Lingyue made a secret effort, and suddenly heard a click, her index finger and middle finger tightened, and the black iron stone was actually in her hand, and it broke into four petals.
"Oh, this is really black iron stone? Why is it like tofu, it shatters when squeezed lightly." Ye Lingyue's words made Ye Sheng, who was about to reprimand her, turn pale.
The top-grade black iron stone is extremely hard, how could it be easily crushed into several pieces by Ye Lingyue.
Ye Sheng and several quarry masters hurried forward, and they were shocked when they saw that these black iron ores were all fake.
"You bastard, it turned out to be a fake. Come here and take this liar down." Only then did Ye Sheng realize that he had been duped, and he was afraid for a while, so he ordered someone to take down the businessman surnamed Chen.
Unexpectedly, the businessman saw through the deception, his face turned blue, black blood flowed out of his mouth, kicked his feet, and fell to the ground dead.
