After returning from the mine, Li Ling stayed alone in the room. He took out all the ten kilograms of gold ore and piled them aside. Looking at the golden ore, the first thing Li Ling did was to smelt pure gold.
.
Smelting is an extremely complicated process that requires smelting and impurity removal. Without a furnace, smelting would be difficult. Originally, Li Ling wanted to go to a general metal smelting shop and use other people's tools, but then he thought about it,
It's safer to smelt it yourself. After all, if someone else is short-handed in the smelting process, wouldn't it be an advantage for others?
Li Ling placed the gold mine on the ground and knew that refining gold required a series of chemical reactions. Moreover, Li Ling had never even heard of some of the elements contained in the gold mine, let alone
Smelt it yourself.
As a result, Li Ling could neither go to a smelter to smelt it nor smelt it himself, which was a huge problem.
After much tossing and tossing, Li Ling decided not to smelt the purchased gold mines for the time being.
Finally, Li Ling put away the gold mines and went out, only to find an old man standing outside Li Ling's house. He looked very old, leaning on a cane, with his back hunched over, looking lonely, and coughing constantly.
Erwa saw that the old man was pitiful, so he took out some steamed buns from the house and handed them to the old man. The old man took the steamed buns from Erwa's hand, nodded to Erwa, touched Erwa's head, and smiled kindly.
: "Good boy, good boy."
Li Ling also came out of the courtyard, came to the door, walked towards the old man and said: "Old man, you have been outside my door. Is there anything important?"
"Little brother, have you been to the mining area in the south of the city today?" The old man said with a slight smile.
Li Ling looked at the old man with confusion. The old man looked around. Although he was old, he was very energetic. Although he had a cough, he could not be underestimated.
"Yes, old man, how do you know so much about it?" Li Ling looked at the old man in confusion. Could it be that this old man had been following him all the way?
"It's not that I know it in detail. It's our lady who knows it in detail." The old man shook his head repeatedly and sighed with helplessness in his eyes.
Li Ling suddenly became more confused. The three of them had only been in Baiyun County for a few months. How could they know other people? Who is this young lady? Li Ling was confused and asked: "Who is your young lady?"
"The name of our young lady must be kept secret, but our young lady said it. Mr. Li went to the mine today. The purpose was to buy some gold mines, or in other words, he wanted some gold essence. However, due to some complicated reasons,
The reason is that I was not able to buy the gold essence, which is a little regretful, but Mr. Li, you don’t know something. Among the ores you took, is there a piece of silver ore?" The old man asked, leaning on a cane.
Erwa also wanted to know the reason for this. He was quiet and did not interrupt. As for Hei Lin, he was still in seclusion at the moment.
"Yes, it was given to me by the old miner at that time." Li Ling said.
"That's right, that piece of silver ore is a piece of silver essence." The old man said with a mysterious smile.
"Silver Essence is the essence of silver. It is the same as Gold Essence. In terms of density, Silver Essence will be seven or eight times that of silver. If it is really used, Silver Essence is not slightly weaker than Gold Essence, but it will not be too
Weak." The old man laughed.
Li Ling frowned in surprise and took out the silver ore from the space artifact. In terms of weight, this ore was indeed much heavier than other gold ores. Li Ling did not notice this detail at the time.
The silver on the silver mine is actually more eye-catching than the silver itself. Under the refracted sunlight, the silver mine is even more dazzling.
When Erwa saw the silver mine, she said with emotion: "Brother Li Ling, your silver mine looks so dazzling, as if it refracts sunlight."
The old man laughed and touched Erwa's head and said: "Good boy, you have good eyesight, and you can see the wonders of silver at a glance. The quality of metals that can refract light is extremely good. This
Silver essence is one of them. Our lady said that since gold essence is monopolized, it would be good to use silver essence for the time being. After all, silver essence is much stronger than gold mine."
"Who is your young lady? Old man, can you tell me something?" Li Ling asked again.
"To be honest, our young lady forbids me from revealing this to my husband. However, as I fell in love with you as soon as I saw you, I will remind you." The old man said, stroking his beard and continued: "At the auction."
As soon as he finished saying this, the old man smiled mysteriously and stopped talking.
Li Ling suddenly frowned. Could it be that this lady was the beauty who competed with him for the Youlong Silk at the auction.
"Old sir, I understand. Thank your lady for me. I owe her two favors." Li Ling is a person who must repay debts. Li Ling must repay the favors given to him by others, otherwise he will feel guilty in his heart.
Really uneasy.
"That's not necessary. It's just a small sentiment. You don't need to take it to heart, sir. By the way, my lady wants me to ask you if you have any research on smelting?" the old man said.
Li Ling happened to be a little confused about smelting, so he modestly said to the old man: "Old sir, I am really a layman about smelting, and I am worried about how to refine the gold mine I purchased?"
The old man stroking his beard looked at Li Ling and said solemnly: "He is a real person. Okay, let me, an old man, teach you the real way of smelting. However, in order to smelt, you must first have a furnace.
Otherwise, even if you have great smelting skills, you will not be able to smelt good metal."
"Smelting furnace? Where can I get a good furnace? Will it cost a lot of ink crystals?" Li Ling used to spend a lot of money, but now he is so poor that he understands the importance of money. If you don't have money, you have to be careful about everything.
Come on.
"That's not necessary. As long as I'm here, you don't have to worry about the furnace. I can give you a furnace right now. All you have to do is watch it carefully and learn from it." The old man smiled slightly.
Li Ling felt that this was like pie in the sky, and Li Ling had no confidence at all. He only had a relationship with that beauty, so why did the beauty want to help him? Moreover, Li Ling was still dating that beauty in the first place.
The person who came to snatch the dragon silk made Li Lingzhang'er's monk confused.
However, since the old man wanted to help him, Li Ling couldn't refuse. After all, although Li Ling had ten kilograms of gold at the moment, he didn't know how to smelt it. This was an opportunity to learn smelting.
However, for smelting, Li Ling felt that it was better to deal with fire, which Li Ling was very good at.
If Li Ling can learn smelting, he can purify and refine any good ore he encounters in the future, which will be a huge benefit to himself.
"Thank you, old sir." Li Ling said immediately.
"You're welcome. It's all my young lady's orders. I'm just following my orders." The old man said with a laugh.
"Well, may I ask what you call the old gentleman?" Li Ling felt that it was necessary to know the old man's name.
"Just call me Mr. Yue." The old man stroked his beard and said with a smile.
"Lao Yue? The old gentleman's surname is Yue?" Li Ling asked. Li Ling actually wanted to escape from the old gentleman's full name by asking this question.
"It doesn't matter what your last name is. What's important is that you have to concentrate on learning it later." Mr. Yue's originally casual eyes suddenly turned serious. This actually made Li Ling give up the idea of continuing to ask Mr. Yue his full name.
Mr. Yue walked into the courtyard. When he was walking in the center of the courtyard, he looked at a house over there. He nodded immediately and said: "There is someone in retreat in that room. Let's not disturb them. It's in the northernmost wing, just away from that room."
The house is far away.”
Li Ling was surprised by Mr. Yue's insight. He knew that Hei Lin was retreating in the house the moment he entered the courtyard.
However, the average strong person can indeed judge some things by relying on the trace amounts of spiritual power in the air and the fluctuations of cosmic power.
"Mr. Yue, you are so awesome. There is a friend of mine in that room. She is in retreat at the moment. It is the most critical moment. Outsiders are not allowed to disturb her." Li Ling said with a smile.
Erwa also grabbed Li Ling's sleeve and said with a smile, "It's Sister Heilin who is in retreat."
"Oh, that's it. It seems that this girl named Heilin is about to break through to the city level. Not bad, not bad." Yue Lao stroked his beard and said with a smile.
Li Ling was even more shocked. This Yue Lao could tell that Hei Lin, who was practicing in the room, wanted to break through to the City Realm level just by relying on the slight fluctuation of spiritual energy in the air. This Yue Lao's strength really made Li Ling a little bit weak.
He also couldn't figure out how such an unfathomable person could appear here and come to help him. This series of questions completely trapped Li Ling. (To be continued...)
