Chapter 43: Turning Waste into Treasure
Lin Yang pushed away the table in the center of the room, then took out the ordinary stones in his backpack and piled them on the ground, and continued. "Alchemy is your old business, right? You can help me refine these ordinary stones into ore. ”
When the pharmacist Turner heard this, he was stunned, he was proficient in alchemy as a pharmacist, he didn't tell anyone at all, and how Lin Yang knew, he was very puzzled.
Doubts are doubts, but he doesn't want to delve into them, as long as Lin Yang can help.
"Got it." Turner nodded, and took out a bowl from the dusty cupboard, which contained dark black blood, which looked so thick that it was impossible to tell what kind of creature's blood it was.
Then he crouched down, drew an alchemy circle on the floor in the center of the room, and then put all the stones on the floor.
Turner was half-kneeling, his right hand on the ground, muttering something.
Suddenly, the alchemy magic array on the floor lit up, emitting a white light, and all the stones were dyed white, a mysterious force changing the composition of matter from the inside out.
'Bang! With a bang, a fist-sized piece of stone dissipated its white light and turned directly into white powder, scattered on the floor.
"Failed a piece." Lin Yang didn't care much, staring intently at the changes in the other stones.
Although Turner's alchemy level is not first-class, it can be regarded as a master, it is normal for alchemy to fail, and the strongest alchemist can't pat his chest to guarantee that his success rate is 100%.
Iron ore is still a precious thing, the market price of an ordinary iron ore is generally 2 copper, but now due to the intervention of merchants and trade unions, the price of each piece of iron ore has skyrocketed to 5 copper, almost doubled, so that the total value of a group of 100 ores is 500 copper, compared with the ordinary stone of a group of 6 copper, it is really expensive, so the probability of alchemy refining iron ore from the stone is very low, which is reasonable.
Looking at the stones in the alchemy magic array that were constantly shattering into white powder, Lin Yang's mood gradually sank.
More than dozens of stones have turned into white powder, which is a pitifully low probability.
At this moment, in the stone pile, an egg-sized stone that had been concealed turned into powder, but this time the powder was gray, and the powder revealed a gray-white luster of metal, and there was no doubt that this time it was successfully refined into iron ore.
With the first successful example, Lin Yang breathed a sigh of relief, seeing that although the probability of refining iron ore is low, the method of refining iron ore from stone is indeed feasible.
The stones on the alchemy magic array turned into powder after a while, and the result was still satisfactory, refining 13 pieces of iron ore, and 5 pieces of black iron ore was a surprise.
Black iron is worth more than iron ore, with a market price three times higher than iron ore.
When forging equipment, the material can often determine the quality of the equipment when it is successfully forged, when iron ore is the main material, there is a high probability of forging ordinary quality equipment, a small probability of forging ordinary quality equipment, and when black iron ore is the main material, there is a high probability of forging ordinary equipment, and even a small probability of forging black iron equipment, high-grade ore, and so on.
Therefore, black iron ore, which can produce higher quality equipment, is also the main goal of merchants and unions.
Lin Yang directly put away the ore on the alchemy magic array, and then took out a set of stones and put them on it.
Groups of stones turned into powder on the magic array, and the gray-white powder coalesced into a small mountain bag, occupying most of the room.
Just as Lin Yang was worrying about how to clean up the powder, the pharmacist Turner slapped his hands on the floor, and the small mountain of powder piled up kept shrinking and was re-refined into stone, but the amount was not as much as before.
Lin Yang was amazed, he felt that alchemy was really a good thing, it was simply a magic skill that turned waste into treasure, since he couldn't extract alchemy skills from Turner's mouth, then learn from other places.
After an hour, with the help of Turner, Lin Yang practiced a total of fifty groups of stones, counting the stones made from powder residues, a total of nearly sixty groups were refined, and a total of more than 3 groups of iron ore and half a group of black iron ore were obtained.
The cost price of ordinary stone is only thirty or forty silver, but now it has refined a material of higher value, and the price has increased several times at once, and it is simply a lot of money.
Lin Yang was about to take out the remaining stones in his backpack again, but Turner waved his hand and didn't do it.
"Okay, I've been refining iron ore for you for an hour, we don't owe each other, you can go." Turner gave the eviction order, turned and returned to the workbench.
If someone is willing to test a drug and record its effects, Turner is willing to spare an hour to help, and the rest of the time he will devote himself to pharmaceutical research.
Lin Yang knew Turner's rules, but he didn't force it, and left directly, planning to come back tomorrow.
The great cause of smelting is not in a hurry at all, and there is no need to worry about other players snatching the right to use the alchemy magic array.
At the moment, there will be no players coming to the business district at all, and Turner looks like a foul-tempered, old-fashioned, and stingy NPC, players who see him for the first time will definitely think so, plus the deceptive title of pharmacist, it is estimated that only Lin Yang knows that Turner can do alchemy in the entire Sanctuary.
With such a valuable iron ore on his body, Lin Yang became vigorous when he walked, and he had the confidence to puff out his pocket.
Now when the average player is still complacent about earning one or two silver coins, he already has assets close to two gold coins, plus the Tianyun Chamber of Commerce still owes 100 gold coins, if he smelts all the stones on his body and then sells all the iron ore, he can immediately become a local tyrant.
However, between the local tyrant of the time and the local tyrant of the first generation, he chose the latter, and these iron ores are his magic weapon to make a lot of money at the moment.
Leaving the business district, Lin Yang opened the map and followed the road map to the exchange under the name of the Tianyun Chamber of Commerce, intending to rent the forging room.
Lin Yang walked to the office in the hall of the exchange, at this time, many players were queuing up to rent the forging room, these people were roughly divided into three types of people, one was the sub-professional players cultivated by the guild, the second was the players under the merchants, and the third was the casual sub-professional players.
There was a long queue in front of the low-level forging room, but there was no one in front of the middle-level forging room, and as for the high-level forging room, it would only appear in a city at the level of the main city, and there was no city like Yongwang Town.
However, it is no wonder that the low-level forging room only has basic forging tools, while the intermediate forging room can increase the forging success rate by 3%, but the rent per hour is as high as 2 silver coins.
