"First-order iron ore mine, two thousand nine hundred and twenty catties. Second-order ore, forty-one catties, converted into eighty-six catties of first-order ore. That's five thousand and seven pounds!"

The overseer of the weighing mine reported the number out loud.

"Ye Daoyou calculated carefully, and he only had two catties more!"

The young monk was stunned for a moment, and glanced at Ye Mo with a strange expression.

"Digging every piece of ore requires physical strength, so naturally you have to be careful with your calculations. There are even two catties more, and if there is an opportunity to mine in the future, it will be more accurate. ”

Ye Mo laughed to himself. He knew that the scale was not accurate. After estimating the error, he deliberately only added two catties more.

The young monk's face twitched. This guy is so shrewd, this kind of doorway is also clear, what kind of person?

"Fellow Daoist, isn't it time to send spirit stones?"

Ye Mo put the shovel on the wooden table and asked.

The young monk came back to his senses, nodded and said, "Forgive me for being rude, I have to check it with my divine sense first, and I am not allowed to take the mine out of the mine privately!"

Without waiting for Ye Mo to speak, he released his divine sense and checked Ye Mo again, and there was no entrainment of spirit stones.

Ye Mo's expression was calm.

The spiritual weapons and spiritual swords on his body are all personal belongings, not storage bags, and cannot be searched. The young friars did not see much of a name.

"This is the salary of a spirit stone, Ye Daoyou will collect it!"

After the young monk registered, he gave Ye Mo a spirit stone. Then he looked at Ye Mo with strange eyes and walked out of the mine valley.

"Lord Prisoner, is there something wrong with this man?"

An overseer asked cautiously.

After earning a piece of spirit stone, he hurriedly left, who knew what he wanted to do! I guess he couldn't stand the smell of the mine, and he couldn't wait to leave. ”

The young monk shook his head and spoke slowly.

"Horses have no night grass and no fertilizer, and people have no windfall and no wealth!

Ye Mo walked briskly on the bluestone road, thinking in his heart.

Five or six thousand catties of second- and third-order black iron ore was enough for him to complete the initial accumulation of financial resources and save a lot of time.

The wide bluestone paved road under the scorching midday sun looks a little deserted. Except for the occasional passing animal cart, only a few pedestrians could be seen.

Leaving the mining area and arriving at the plain area of Lingdao, the spiritual fields on both sides of the road gradually increased.

The large areas of spiritual fields are all spiritual valleys and spiritual beans swaying with the breeze.

A monk is near Lingtian, casting a spell. Above one of the acres of spiritual fields, there was a dark cloud several zhang in size, and it was slowly raining.

"This is the Lingyu Technique, right? Planting the Lingtian Spell is really magical. ”

Ye Mo muttered to himself in surprise. Although he became a monk, he had never been exposed to any other spells except water archery.

The monk in front of him who performed the Spiritual Rain Technique should have a good cultivation, and he was able to release a dark cloud several feet in size.

After stopping and watching for a while, the dark clouds and rain dissipated.

Ye Mo got back on the road and went to Donglai Immortal Village, and his heart was also more urgent about cultivation.

He couldn't help but touch the ancient paintings and scrolls on his waist, the dark iron ore in it could be exchanged for a large number of spirit stones, and he could finally really embark on the path of cultivation.

It has been many months since he cultivated the Yuan Shen, but Ye Mo has been unable to cultivate because of the lack of spirit stones. I've already started, but I don't know how to continue.

Ye Mo passed by Xiancun and did not stop, and went directly to the pier of East Lailing Island.

He didn't immediately go to the village to sell the ore, which needs to be done with caution. After all, the origin of his dark iron ore is unclear.

It's still busy on the docks.

There are often sea boats from other fairy villages docking, and there are also sea boats going to sea, and the porters on the dock are busy sweating profusely.

Ye Mo's sea ship is still moored at the original berth.

"Immortal Master, are you back?"

When the deputy owner learned that Ye Mo was back, he hurriedly greeted him.

"What was the situation on the ship during my time at the mine?"

Ye Mo asked.

"Immortal Master, everything is normal on the ship, nothing major has happened! The crew and guards are busy cultivating on weekdays, and according to your orders, they will use the gold, silver, and jewelry left on the ship to buy a large number of quenching herbs and concentrate on cultivating martial arts.

Over the years, Ship Master Feng has been selling slaves and earning a lot of gold, silver and jewelry, which is enough for the cultivation of these warriors on our ship. Crews and escorts, there have been breakthroughs in the near future.

In addition, I went out to sea twice and fished in the foggy area. Now there are few people on the boat, and there is not much to eat, and it is enough to go once in a while. ”

Chang Fei reported in detail on the affairs on the ship during this time. When Ye Mo was away, he, the deputy captain, basically had to catch big and small things.

"Well, it's good that everyone is fine. What about Wang Hu, Yang You, Mo Ling, and Tunu Wei?"

After listening to Ye Mingzhen and affirming Chang Fei's performance, he asked again.

"The two elder brothers, Wang and Yang, often go to Xiancun and go back to the boat at night to live. I don't know what they're up to. Miss Mo Ling often went to live with her grandfather in the fairy village, and occasionally did not see her for several days.

As for the Tunu Wuwei, they didn't go out, they practiced behind closed doors on the ship every day, and they didn't see anyone. However, according to your instructions, their quenching herbs are enough, and they can give as much as they need. ”

Chang Fei shook his head and said.

These people are all Ye Mo's followers, or Ye Mo's personal slaves, and their status is even better than Chang Fei's. Chang Fei can only manage those crew members, but can't manage Wang Hu, Yang You, Mo Ling, Tunuwei and others.

Ye Mo is not here, and those people have their own arrangements.

"Well, I'll go rest for a while, and I'll talk about the rest. ”

Ye Mo nodded.

After staying in the mine for more than half a month, staying in the dim and rancid mine everywhere, high-intensity mining, Yi Ye Mo's physical strength was also a little unbearable, and his spirit was also very tired.

Took a shower and simply ate something.

Ye Mo slept completely relaxed in his bedroom. When I woke up again, it had been more than half a day, and there was a noise outside the door.

"Miss Mo, you can't go in, the master is resting!"

"It's been a few hours since you slept, and you haven't woken up yet, won't you get hurt?"

"After the master returned, the five of us stayed here all the time, and it would be fine! The master slept with an even and long breath without any problems. ”

"You...... Forget it, I'll wait!"

Mo Ling glared at the five unenlightened Tunu guards.

These Tunu guards are too dead-eyed. After Ye Mo came back, they guarded the door like wooden carvings and never left.

She had been here several times, but she had been stopped by the Tunu guards. These five Tunuwei were loyal and dutiful, and she could not rebuke them.

"Squeak!"

The cabin door opened, and Ye Mo walked out.

"Master!"

The five guards of Tunu were in the same shape, their movements were the same, and they knelt down to Ye Mo at the same time.

"Brother Ye, I came back yesterday, and I heard from the deputy owner that you are back, so I came to take a look. ”

Mo Ling hurriedly said.

"Well, I'm just hungry, let's have a meal together!"

Ye Mo couldn't help but smile when he saw her.

"Ah, I'll get the cook to cook some good dishes!"

Mo Ling glanced at the Tunu guards for a few moments, then went to the galley where the cabin was cooking. The former owner of the ship, Feng Xiongchang, had a special chef and is still on board the sea.

"The five of you, your cultivation has improved by one level, and you are already at the eighth level of body refining, which is very good!"

Ye Mo was about to call the Tunu Wuwei down, but he was a little surprised.

"Thank you for the quenching medicine given by the master! Otherwise, we wouldn't have been able to break through in such a short time. ”

One of the five Tunu guards, a female Tunu guard, said softly.

She is the only woman in the five guards, and her cultivation was originally a seventh-layer quenching body, and she was promoted to one level, and the five Tunu guards were all martial arts masters of the eighth layer of the quenching body.

The five of them have had a very tacit understanding since childhood, and they have joined forces to attack martial arts, and their strength is very strong. Even a ninth-level martial artist refining was not necessarily their opponent.

"Well, you cultivate hard and reach the peak of the ninth layer of martial arts as soon as possible! You go down, you don't have to stay here!"

"Yes, master!"

In the kitchen, the meal is ready.

"The taste is really good, and the chef's skill has soared!"

Ye Mo came to the dining room in the cabin, sat at the dining table, sandwiched the fragrant fish meat, and devoured it.

"Is this delicious? I want to vomit after eating all this fish. You've just been released from prison, and it's like you haven't eaten in a long time!"

Mo Ling sat opposite, didn't touch the chopsticks, and couldn't help but say.

"You're right, the food in the mines is the same as pig food. For most of the month, being in a mine is no different from being in prison!"

Ye Mo said quickly.

"Mining is so hard, then don't go, there are also a lot of monks in the fairy village, although the income is less, but there is no need to go to the mine to suffer this crime!"

Mo Ling frowned and said.

Ye Mo smiled, with the thousands of catties of dark iron ore in the ancient painting, of course he would not go to the mine to do those hard jobs again.

However, this cannot be said.

The theft of ore from the mine must not be leaked in the slightest. Otherwise, Zou Ruhai, the Great City Lord and the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce would definitely not be able to spare him, and they would not be satisfied with Lingdao chasing and killing him.

In addition, the ancient painting scroll was also very important, and Ye Mo didn't plan to reveal it to others.

"By the way, can the injuries of Senior Mo be recovered?"

Ye Mo asked as he ate.

"No! No further deterioration, but there are no obvious signs of recovery. Grandpa said that it would take several years for the injury to heal. Being injured in the inner abdomen by a demon beast, even an ordinary healing elixir is difficult to heal. Moreover, the healing elixir is also very expensive, at least dozens of spirit stones. ”

Mo Ling was a little worried.

"The injury is so serious, but it's good that it doesn't deteriorate, and when you become an immortal cultivator, you can also help your grandfather earn spirit stones." ”

Ye Mo raised his head and comforted him.

"How can spirit stones be so easy to earn, dozens of spirit stones, even if I take the Yuan Qi Pill and become a Qi cultivation period cultivator, go to plant the Spirit Valley, and the salary of a spirit stone a month. It would take years to earn enough. ”

Mo Ling smiled bitterly.

"Brother Ye, I heard from Deputy Chang that you are back!"

Wang Hu's loud voice was outside the restaurant, and the voice came from afar, and there was a rush of footsteps.

Wang Hu and Yang You entered the restaurant one after the other.

"The two of you have also broken through to the seventh layer of the quenching body, and you are truly high-level martial artists. ”

When Ye Mo saw the two of them, he couldn't help but laugh, slapped Wang Hu's strong shoulder, and said with a smile.

"Brother Ye used so much gold and silver on the ship to buy quenching herbs on Spirit Island, if our two senior brothers can't cultivate to the late stage of martial arts, it will be too stupid!"

Wang Hu Ha Luha smiled and scratched his head, very excited, quite proud of his strength.

A group of them were chatting in the cabin restaurant, talking about what had happened in the past half a month.

Wang Hu and Yang You often go to the immortal village these days, going to various refining workshops to wander around, just to become immortal cultivators, go to one of the refining workshops to become refining boys, and learn the art of refining.

Next.

Ye Mo came to Donglai Immortal Village, a small refining workshop. Several shirtless monks were by the fire, working hotly, hammer after hammer, and the sound of the hammer striking came far away.

A swarthy man sweating profusely took a piece of Ye Mo's dark iron stone and looked at it carefully.

"This is a third-order Xuantie stone, the quality is okay, you can refine the third-order Xuantie by refining it! A few more pieces of third-order blackiron like this would be nice. I can't buy enough of this piece, so I can't buy it!"

The swarthy man shook his head and wondered, "Where did this piece of dark iron ore come from?"

"This was dug up by a fellow Taoist on Nojima and asked me to sell it. Isn't it enough for you to add some of it yourself?"

Ye Mo said.

He wanted to say that there were still a lot of second- and third-order Xuaniron ore in his hand, but he still calmly endured it.

"How can I have a third-order iron ore myself? The mines on this Spirit Island rarely produce third-order ores. Occasionally, a small amount is also bought by those big workshops. I have a small business, and I can't rob others, so I usually only use first-order dark iron to build spiritual weapons. ”

The swarthy man shook his head and said.

"If you don't have one on the island, can't you buy it from somewhere else?"

Ye Mo asked suspiciously.

"Ha Luha, other places? brother, you don't know. Xiancun has the rules of Xiancun, all the refining workshops here, and the dark iron ore used must be purchased from the mines in Xiancun.

The Zou City Lord can rely on the mines of Lingdao to make money, and sell the raw materials of Xuaniron to the refining workshops at a high price. Goods from outside the island are not allowed to be brought in at all. Only materials that are not available on the island are allowed to be purchased from outside.

Strictly speaking, you are not allowed to sell your ore on the island without permission. It doesn't matter if the quantity is small, if it is purchased in batches and discovered by Xianwei, the consequences will be unimaginable. ”

The swarthy man turned his head to look at Ye Mo and said suspiciously, "Your ore won't be shipped from other Spirit Islands, and you want to sell it in small batches little by little, right?" ”

"Oh, I just bought it from a fellow Daoist, and I want to sell it to earn the difference. I didn't expect Bai to be happy, and he couldn't sell it!"

Ye Mo suddenly chuckled in his heart, and hurriedly smiled awkwardly.

The swarthy man looked outside the refining workshop, then retracted his head, closed the door, and whispered: "Brother, we don't talk darkly, I don't know what kind of skills you have to get it." I can take this third-order black iron ore.

Although the amount is not enough to refine a third-order spirit sword, adding some first-order ores to it can barely refine a second-order spirit sword. Make an offer!"

After a short while, Ye Mo came out of this workshop, with more than a dozen spirit stones in his hand, but his expression was crying and laughing.

A third-order iron ore of more than ten catties was sold for more than ten spirit stones, which was more than the spirit stones he earned by digging ore for a month.

The thousands of catties of third-order iron ore in his hand are in trouble, and no refining workshop in this Donglai village dares to accept such hot goods.

The sources of raw materials for each workshop in Xiancun are all from the Lingdao mine, if thousands of catties of third-order Xuaniron ore are sold in large quantities. It will definitely attract the attention of various workshops and even the Zou City Lord.

Ye Mo didn't want to arouse the suspicion of people with intentions, so he didn't dare to try again, so he could only return to the sea ship.
