Chapter 14: A Hundred Years of Dark Iron

Jiang Ning looked at Director Fang with a frown, and he found that Director Fang's face was very nervous.

"Why can't you go?" Jiang Ning asked.

"Over there...... There's a snake over there. Director Fang's face showed a frightened expression, and then explained to Jiang Ning: "A few years ago, we had an employee who was wandering here at night, and was bitten by a snake, but fortunately, the person on duty in the warehouse arrived in time, otherwise, that person's life would have to be lost here." ”

Jiang Ning nodded after hearing this, the wasteland in front of him was overgrown with weeds, and it was normal to have snakes.

"Let's go back. ”

Jiang Ning glanced in that direction again, and then walked back with Manager Fang, with Director Fang there, Jiang Ning had some scruples, he thought about waiting a little later, and then he would find out again.

The day passed quickly, and when it was about to get off work, Liu Zhiquan came back, and he reported to Jiang Ning about some things that he went out to talk about today.

Jiang Ning didn't care much about this matter, all he wanted was to wait for work and go to the wasteland behind him to find out.

At eight o'clock in the evening, the workers in the warehouse were almost gone, and Director Fang also came to say hello to Jiang Ning and left, leaving only a few people on duty at this time.

Jiang Ning picked out some tools and a sharper shovel from the warehouse, and then walked towards the wasteland behind the warehouse.

At night, the wasteland was very dark, and Jiang Ning lit a flashlight to shine forward, but unexpectedly saw two shining eyes in the grass.

Jiang Ning picked up a small pebble from his feet and threw it over there, only to hear a "meow", and the black cat came out of the grass, and then slipped into another pile of grass and disappeared.

"It turned out to be a cat. Jiang Ning breathed a sigh of relief, and he took his things and continued to walk forward.

The cold wind blowing on the body at night is very uncomfortable, and the surrounding environment is also a little scary, if the average person stays here alone, he will definitely be scared to turn around and run.

But Jiang Ning is different, he seems very calm, because there is a primordial mountain in the Heavenly Dome Continent, where the environment at night is much more terrifying than this, and there are many demonic beasts in it, Jiang Ning has stayed in it for half a year in order to cultivate, and has personally killed many demonic beasts.

Jiang Ning sensed the aura around him, and a few minutes later came to the place where the aura was abnormal before.

The weeds here are about more than a meter high, completely blocking Jiang Ning's road, Jiang Ning pinned the flashlight to his waist, and then waved a shovel to shovel the weeds blocking the road one by one.

"Whew!"

Jiang Ning took a breath, and it took about five minutes for Jiang Ning to finally remove all the weeds that were in the way, and then picked up the flashlight and shone it in front of him.

"That's it!" Jiang Ning was very excited, there was a black iron block in front of his eyes, and the abnormal aura here was caused by this thing.

Jiang Ning picked up the piece of iron, and then stared at the piece of iron for a long time.

"It's ...... 100 years of dark iron?"

Jiang Ning was extremely excited, he didn't expect that a century-old dark iron could be found on the earth.

Hundred-year-old Xuantie is the material for casting spirit treasures in the Heavenly Dome Continent, and the strength of spirit treasures depends on the materials cast and the caster's own ability.

There are nine grades of Lingbao, which are the first, second, and third grades...... Wait a minute.

In the Heavenly Dome Continent, hundred-year-old dark iron is a relatively common spiritual treasure material, and the first-grade spiritual treasure cast is more common, and there are also some casting masters who can use hundred-year-old Xuaniron to cast second-grade spiritual treasures, but casting spiritual treasures is a very spiritual power-consuming thing, and almost only casting masters with lower abilities will use hundred-year-old Xuancai to cast spiritual treasures.

Although it is not a rare thing, in the earth where spiritual energy is lacking, it is a little surprising to be able to find such a century-old piece of dark iron.

Jiang Ning gently brushed the surface of the iron block with one hand, and he could clearly feel the aura contained in the iron block.

Jiang Ning was a little impatient, he sat cross-legged directly under a tree next to him, held the hundred-year-old Xuantie in his hand, and then carried the Cloud Secret Technique.

In an instant, a little blue light shone on the hundred-year-old Xuantie, and the aura contained in the Xuantie went down Jiang Ning's palm and directly entered his body.

10 minutes ......

30 minutes ......

......

A full hour passed, Jiang Ning suddenly opened his eyes, and he could clearly feel that his spiritual power, which had not moved for a few days, had slowly increased.

Although the effect of directly absorbing the aura in the hundred-year-old Xuantie is much more obvious, the aura contained in the Xuantie is limited after all, and after the aura is completely absorbed, the hundred-year-old Xuantie will really become a piece of scrap iron.

"If you use this hundred-year-old Xuantie as an array and set up a spirit gathering array......" The idea slowly emerged in Jiang Ning's mind.

The Spirit Gathering Array is the most common formation in the Heavenly Dome Continent, this kind of formation is based on the spirit treasure as the eye of the formation, with the elixir as the auxiliary, gathering the spiritual energy of heaven and earth in the array, and the cultivator can get twice the result with half the effort when he is in the array.

"This hundred-year-old dark iron is the material for casting spiritual treasures, and it can barely be used as an eye, but where can I find this elixir......" Thinking of this, Jiang Ning had a headache.

Jiang Ning concluded that since there was a century-old black iron on the earth, there must also be spiritual grass, and the more precious herbs on the earth were: saffron, ginseng, cordyceps, etc., and these herbs were most likely to contain spiritual energy.

But the price of these herbs is very expensive, Jiang Ning touched his pocket, and it was less than 100 yuan.

"I used to be a strong man who stepped into the realm of life and death with half a foot, but now I am stumped by money. Jiang Ning shook his head helplessly, if he relied on himself to scrape together money to buy spirit grass, he didn't know when he would have to wait.

At this time, Jiang Ning thought of the Lin family, since the Lin family is so rich, and he also treats Lin Zhengyuan's injuries, it is not too much to charge some fees.

It was already past 10 o'clock in the evening when Jiang Ning returned to Zhou's house, and most of the Zhou family had already rested, and there was a thermos pot on the table.

Jiang Ning walked over and opened it to see that there was a pot of warm chicken soup inside, and at this time Zhou Yating walked down from upstairs.

"I'm back, I left it for you. ”

Zhou Yating was wearing pajamas, obviously waiting for Jiang Ning to come back.

"I was so busy on the first day of work, I didn't expect you to be quite serious about your work...... Zhou Yating said, serving Jiang Ning a bowl of chicken soup.

Jiang Ning took the chicken soup expressionlessly, he was not moved by Zhou Yating's hospitality, he had received too much cold eyes from Zhou Yating in the past three years, if it weren't for the relationship between Jiang Ning and the Lin family, maybe he would be facing Zhou Yating's duties and abuse now.

"There's something I want to ask, where can I buy that kind of medicinal herb in Longyun City that is relatively old?" Jiang Ning asked as he drank chicken soup.

"Medicinal herbs, why do you want to buy that?" Zhou Yating asked suspiciously.

"Uh...... I'll give it away. Jiang Ning thought for a moment and replied.

"Give it away?" Zhou Yating suddenly paused, with a happy expression on her face.

Zhou Yating thought to herself: "My birthday is coming soon, does Jiang Ning want to prepare a gift for her?"

But this is not for the elders, where is there a gift for the birthday.

Even so, Zhou Yating was still very happy, which proved that Jiang Ning still valued her, as long as she could trap Jiang Ning, the benefits of the Lin family would be indispensable to her.

"If you want to buy medicinal herbs, you should have a Chinese herbal medicine store, but if you want a high vintage, it is not easy to find. Zhou Yating thought for a while, and then said: "I know a person who specializes in the herbal medicine business, you can try it with him." ”

Zhou Yating took out her mobile phone and gave Jiang Ning the contact information of a person surnamed Long.

The next day, Jiang Ning called the man surnamed Long, but learned that the other party was not in Longyun City now, and it would take a while before he could come back.

Jiang Ning had no choice but to go to the pharmacy to ask in person, there were hundreds of Chinese herbal medicine shops in Longyun City, large and small, Jiang Ning ran for two days, and gave Liu Zhiquan the work of the purchasing department, but there was still no gain.

But in these two days, Jiang Ning determined that several herbs do contain aura, the first is ginseng, Jiang Ning has seen countless parameters in the past few days, but they are all very low vintage, the highest one is only fifty years old, the aura contained in it is not too much, but the price is as high as 800,000.

"It's really expensive to cultivate on Earth!" Jiang Ning sighed.

"Mr. Jiang. ”

Suddenly, the office door was pushed open, and Liu Zhiquan walked in from the outside.

"What's wrong?" Jiang Ning asked.

"Mr. Jiang, I'm here to say goodbye. ”

Jiang Ning was stunned when he heard this.

"Goodbye?"
