Hu Qing went to the shop and Tie Sheng showed her a piece of raw material. The peacock blue stone was really beautiful.
"Where did it come from? Did you buy it? How much did it cost? What was it?"
Tieshenghan said with a smile: "You haven't been here these two days, so I went to the mining area to pick it up. This kind of ore is very rare. The master said it is called blue dust steel. Adding it to a dagger can increase spiritual power."
Yo, what a good thing.
Hu Qing: "Then you practice."
Tiesheng: "I only watched the master practice it, I have never practiced it."
Hehehehe has a silly smile and looks timid and afraid of getting into trouble.
Hu Qing was helpless by his temper: "There is a first time for everything. You can practice this with confidence and boldness. So what if the practice is ruined? Who will scold you?"
Tie Sheng scratched his head, always looking like he was lacking courage.
Hu Qing sighed: "By the way, what mining area are you talking about? Where is it? Can anyone go? Do you charge money? How do you charge it? Can I go?"
These days, Tianguang forged without asking where the raw materials came from. I thought they were bought before, but now, listen, why do you have to dig them yourself?
Why did you dig it yourself? Of course it was because it was cheap. Hu Qing inquired about the mining area and heard that the mining area was not far from another city gate. Anyone could dig it, and one spiritual stone could come in and out every day.
The fee will be calculated separately if you dig something out.
"How to calculate it differently?" Hu Qing felt sorry for that piece of spiritual stone.
Tiesheng: "We charge according to their boxes, usually ten spiritual stones per box."
He gestured at the size.
Ten spiritual stones.
Hu pressed his heart gently and couldn't breathe.
But Tiesheng said that basically every time you dig something, you won't lose money, and there will be surprises occasionally.
Hu Qing asked: "What if I don't dig enough for a box?"
Tiesheng said: "It's almost full, and the mining area produces quite a lot. Oh, by the way, the iron and copper we use are all picked there for free."
Hu Qing was moved.
She is going to pick mines!
"You just smelt this piece of blue dust steel, and I'll go to the mining area for a walk. We don't have much material, so I'll dig up more."
Tiesheng: "Ah? Don't I want to teach you how to make weapons?"
Hu Qing: "You also need good materials for refining weapons. Okay, I'll go right away."
Tiesheng: "Should we go now? Then you can rent a carriage and go."
Hu Qing nodded. There was a horse-drawn carriage on the street that was specially designed to pull people's legs. She could afford it by charging Lingzhu.
But it was difficult to bring a cart with her, so she simply took a small iron cart made by Tie Sheng.
Tiesheng: "You don't have a storage bag?"
Hu Qing: "...I didn't have time to buy it."
Tiesheng wanted to say that he should use mine, but then he remembered that the storage bag cannot be used by others if it belongs to the owner, and said: "You can buy one, one hundred low-grade spiritual stones."
Hu Qing: "Let's talk about it next time."
One hundred? How about your life? Go back and ask your daughter if she still needs the one she had before.
The iron cart can be folded and is not heavy. Hu Qing carried the iron cart onto the carriage and went to the city gate where Tiesheng said there were ten spirit beads. There were many people in the carriage and the charges depended on the distance. Naturally, the horse pulling the cart was not
As the horses ran, the wind blew under their hooves. They quickly moved away on both sides of the road, and soon they arrived at the city gate.
It only takes about ten minutes, which shows that there is no market for cars here.
Hu Qing thought optimistically, luckily I didn't learn how to build a car, otherwise it would have been a waste of time.
There are two roads out of the city gate, the wider one leads to the mine. Hu Qing is not the only one walking on the road, most of them are picking mines. Hu Qing observes the seven or eight people walking in front and behind, including monks and ordinary people.
Everyone said nothing and went their own way. After walking for about 20 minutes, they arrived at the mining area. There was a gate supported by wood. Under the gate was a table and two chairs. The chairs were very large, and there was one person sitting cross-legged on each, who was meditating.
There are a few old logs standing hastily on both sides of the gate, which are used as walls. There are stones from far and near here, and you can see them at a glance. You are not afraid of someone sneaking in from other places. There is only one road, and the periphery is only broken ore of little value. The real thing inside
There are people guarding the mining area.
Hu Qing followed the others. When he saw them walking to the door, he took out a spiritual stone and put it on the table. Then he went in. He followed up and took out a spiritual stone and placed it on the table. The two people behind the table closed their eyes and seemed to be talking about something.
He didn't even look, but Hu Qing believed that if someone went in without releasing the spirit stone, these two people would immediately attack.
When we entered the mining area, there were rocks everywhere, as big as a table and as small as a pill. Once a few people dispersed, no one would look at each other, and they would all focus on looking for the rocks.
The stones excavated from the mines contain more or less metal, but they are generally not high quality, or the metal contained is not valuable. Tiesheng held the blue dust steel as his treasure, and Hu Qing estimated that serious monks would not be too interested in it.
As soon as I looked for it, I saw that iron and copper were everywhere, just like the sand and gravel soil next to the mineral deposits in the mortal world.
Hu Qing thought in her mind that doing business as a mortal was really a business without a foundation, but by the same token, she would not be able to earn a few spiritual stones. Now that she had become a monk, if she continued to do this, it would be a waste of money.
So she rummaged through the pile of stones, only looking for fine iron and fine copper, and she could always find a piece every once in a while. Tiesheng's words that at least he could get his money back were true.
She did not collect them immediately. She had seen the estimating box placed at the gate. She wanted to pick as many high-quality ones as possible. The same refined iron and refined copper contained different levels of content.
Maybe it's because she has come into contact with more materials, or maybe it's because her spiritual roots are in harmony. Now when Hu Qing touches a piece of material, she can always feel the quality and spiritual power inside it. She can't describe it, but she just knows it.
After more than half a day, Hu Qing walked back to the main road. Passing by the place he had marked, he picked up the high-quality fine iron and fine copper. When he got to the road, there was exactly an iron cart full of it. This amount should be one box.
Ten spiritual stones.
When I pulled up to the gate, there were a few people there paying money.
Hu Qing took a closer look and saw that there was a mortal pulling a car like herself, but the two monks were loading it with storage bags, which was much more convenient than her struggling to pull the car.
But how to ensure that they don't sneak into the country?
The monks naturally have a way. As long as they hang a ray of spiritual consciousness on the storage bag, they will know how much stuff the person has packed in it.
Hu Qing watched them take out the harvest and put it into the box. Most of it was fine iron and copper, but there were also some other materials, including blue dust steel. They were mixed together and not billed separately.
Hu Qingbian knew that Lanchen Steel was indeed not very valuable. But she didn't even pick up a piece of worthless Lanchen Steel.
Next time, you will have better luck.
When it was Hu Qing's turn, the two monks just glanced at it, without even putting it in the box to measure it. Hu Qing put down ten spiritual stones and pulled the cart out.
Thinking about it in her mind, although it was not tiring to collect ore, it would cost a lot and the cash would be slow to come out. She didn't have enough money to make several trips, so she had to go collect medicine again.
Pulling the cart to the city, she happened to be very strong, so it was easy to pull a cart of ore. If it were her before, I would have just watched the cart and sighed. Of course, she had no chance to do this before.
When she reached a slope, the grass on both sides of the road was too tall, and suddenly someone jumped in front of her.
"Little lady, please put your things down."
Hu Qing's first reaction was actually a spoof on the Internet: Brother, I have no money, can you rob someone?
