Chapter 67 Buying Iron in Shicheng

Yu Zecheng's eyes lingered on the price of black iron. Black iron is the most popular material in the world of immortal cultivation. One catty of black iron is worth one low-level spirit stone. This is almost a fixed price and will not change much.

And Yu Zecheng spent three thousand taels of silver to buy black iron for the three catties of black iron he refined. One catty of black iron is worth one spirit stone, one spirit stone is worth one hundred taels of gold, one hundred taels of gold is three thousand taels of silver, in other words, three catties of black iron is worth nine thousand silver. There is a huge price difference in the middle, and he can buy it at the Tie family without the exploitation of middlemen, so the price of black iron will be cheaper, and the profit will be even more amazing.

During this time, Yu Zecheng has saved three thousand taels of silver in his hands. In addition to the gold seized from the herbal medicine gang, the one hundred taels of gold obtained by killing Tan Erlang, and the gold obtained from the heating gang, after deducting some expenses, he now has a total of one thousand taels of gold, and a total of 33,000 taels of silver, which is also considered a wealthy family.

If these gold and silver are exchanged for black iron, condensed into black iron, and then exchanged for spirit stones, and then the spirit stones are exchanged for gold and silver, this is simply doubling the money, and the profit is amazing.

My advantage over others is that the Yimu formation supports the operation of the alchemy furnace. Refining black iron only takes time and energy, and does not consume true essence and spirit stones, so there is such a huge price difference in the middle.

Even if it is not exchanged for silver, in the future, I will embark on the path of cultivation. Gold and silver are not of much significance to cultivators. Looking at Yaxiang's appearance, cultivators are always short of spirit stones. If you don't make plans now, save more family assets, so as not to suffer losses in the future.

Thinking of this, Yu Zecheng was immediately happy in his heart. It is better to act than to be moved. He immediately returned to Shanzhu City, found Gao Feng, and asked him to contact the people in power in the Tie family for him. This is not a small deal, and a large amount of black iron is required.

Gao Feng immediately agreed and replied:

"Captain, this is easy to handle. Lin Yehong is now the captain. His branch is in Tieshi City, where there are iron mines of the Tie family. I will contact him now and definitely solve this problem."

Yu Zecheng nodded. Even if this matter is arranged, it will take three or four days to send a pigeon back and forth. Just wait for the news.

So Yu Zecheng returned to his place of practice. When he was about to reach the top of the mountain, Yu Zecheng suddenly remembered that he had found something wrong when he was looking for the spiritual spring veins. It seemed that there was a strange spiritual energy in this mountain.

Yu Zecheng gritted his teeth and turned back to Mangzhu City. He hired a large number of stonemasons in the city and took them to the mountain to find the place where the spiritual energy might gather. He ordered these stonemasons to dig down to see what was inside.

This is the benefit of money. With the reward of money, hundreds of people worked hard and started digging. After digging three feet down, they found that it was all rock terrain. Yu Zecheng continued to order them to dig. Under the work of these stonemasons, they used hammers and chisels to dig the rock little by little, and went straight down three feet. Finally, they dug to the position where Yu Zecheng sensed that there was indeed a spiritual object there.

Three feet below, there was a hole, which was surrounded by rocks. When the hole was dug open, a stream of spiritual energy gushed out. After a while, someone went down to explore and found a spiritual tree in the hole.

In fact, this hole was originally a towering tree. It was unknown how many tens of thousands of years ago. Because of the changes in the terrain, the mountains collapsed and cracked, and it was trapped in the rocks. It did not coke and carbonize, but absorbed the spiritual energy of the earth veins and gradually became a spiritual tree, but its size became smaller and smaller. It was found that it was only one foot long and one foot thick.

Everyone pulled the rope, tied the spiritual wood, and pulled it out with a sound of "hey yo, hey yo". No wonder this mountain is full of spiritual energy. This spiritual wood is nourished by the spiritual spring veins, and it also feeds back to this mountain, so there is such momentum here.

Yu Zecheng was happy with a treasure, but unfortunately he didn't know how to use this wood, so he had to take the spiritual wood to the spiritual spring and plant it in the spring water, so that the spiritual energy in his formation was doubled and condensed, which was also a good effect.

In this place full of spiritual energy, Yu Zecheng began to practice, and his practice speed was three points faster than in Mangzhu. It's a pity that all his skills are stuck in a bottleneck. This can't be improved by hard practice. It can only rely on accumulation and enlightenment, and let nature take its course.

Gao Feng quickly sent back the information, and Lin Yehong on the other side completely understood that only five taels of silver were collected for a hundred kilograms of black iron, and the quantity was very large, so Yu Zecheng was asked to go over to negotiate. Yu Zecheng was overjoyed and returned to the branch rudder, taking Du Youzi, Fu Qiang and four disciples to Tieshi City.

Tieshi City is located 100 miles north of Linhai City, and Shanzhu is 150 miles away from Tieshi City. It is actually the outer area of ​​​​Shiwan Mountain, with hilly terrain, rich underground iron ore, and countless iron and stone resources.

It is the place where the Tie family made their fortune. It can be said that hundreds of large and small mining areas are monopolized by the Tie family. Thousands of kilograms of black iron are refined in steel furnaces every day. With such a channel to make money, Tieshi City is also very prosperous.

Now it is October, the golden autumn, and the crops have been harvested. Yu Zecheng led his disciples and rode on horses all the way to Tieshi City.

Now there is a hint of coolness, and the leaves are beginning to fall, but the scenery at this time is just right for the eyes. The mountain flowers are in full bloom in October, and it is the time to climb high and enjoy the flowers.

Although Yu Zecheng and his team are not riding BMW horses, and they can't reach the speed of 1,000 miles a day and 800 miles a night, they can still reach a distance of 100 miles in one day. In the afternoon, they arrived at Tieshi City.

Before entering the city, I could see smoke all over the sky. This was because the large and small steel furnaces were refining steel, making the sky gloomy, as if it was full of dark clouds.

Lin Yehong had been waiting at the city gate. For what Yu Zecheng asked for, Lin Yehong made great efforts and got through all the connections. Finally, he got a reply from Tie Quan, the boss of the Tie family in Tieshi City, and sold the black iron to Yu Zecheng at the lowest price.

The reason why Lin Yehong did this was to repay Yu Zecheng. At the beginning, he was entrusted by Cui Renxiong to go undercover under Yu Zecheng to investigate the Shanhu branch. Although neither of them said anything, it seemed that nothing had happened. In the end, he was a little embarrassed to face Yu Zecheng, and now he tried his best to compensate.

When the two met, Lin Yehong immediately performed the disciple's greeting and said:

"Lin Yehong greets the helmsman."

Yu Zecheng hurriedly stopped him and said:

"Brother Lin, aren't you trying to humiliate me? You are also the helmsman now, you are older than me, you should..."

Lin Yehong interrupted Yu Zecheng and said:

"No matter what, I am your disciple. If I hadn't been through the difficulties with you, I wouldn't be here today. I'm sorry for what happened in the past, please forgive me."

Yu Zecheng smiled and said:

"What's the matter? Let's not talk about the past. If you can help me take care of it and let me save some money, that would be better than anything else."

The two talked enthusiastically, everyone talked and laughed, and the host and guest entered the city harmoniously. This time to welcome Yu Zecheng, Lin Yehong really spent a lot of money, booking the best brothel Xiaoxiang Tower in Tieshi City for one person. When he entered the building, there were more than a hundred girls waiting here, all serving Yu Zecheng and others. It can be said that he spared no effort to welcome Yu Zecheng.

At the banquet, everyone toasted each other, and everyone was having a great time. Lin Yehong risked his life to accompany the gentleman. He vomited twice outside but still toasted. In the end, the host and the guest were satisfied and all drunk. This was the end of the reception.

The next morning, Lin Yehong took Yu Zecheng to meet Tie Quan, the leader of the Tie family. The two sides reached a consensus. Yu Zecheng bought 600,000 kilograms of black iron here at the price of 5 taels of silver for 100 kilograms of black iron. A total of 30,000 taels of silver and 1,000 taels of gold were needed.

When Yu Zecheng came, he went home to collect gold and gave it to Tie Quan at one time. It can be said that he put all his wealth on this this time.

These transactions made Tie Quan very satisfied. Although the price was low, there was a reserve of one million kilograms of black iron in the Tie family warehouse. This time, half of it was sold at once, and he would definitely get a reward from the Elders Council at the end of the year.

One liter of black iron is exactly 15,000 kilograms. Yu Zecheng has three Qiankun bags in his hand, one large and two small, which can transport 150,000 kilograms at a time. It takes about four times to take all the black iron away.

Although the Qiankun bag can be completely filled with black iron, the weight is still reflected in the Qiankun bag. The three bags weigh a thousand pounds. Yu Zecheng's physical strength has greatly increased through practice, otherwise he would never be able to carry these three bags.

In this way, Yu Zecheng began to put black iron into the Qiankun bag. This took a whole day to finish. At this time, it was already late. If he went back, he would have to walk at night. It would be better to spend another night here and talk about it tomorrow.
