Chapter 19: The Darkiron Business

"Bang!" a loud bang came from the Dan furnace on the high platform. Lu Shaoliang's first way of refining pills failed. When everyone saw Lu Shaoliang's Dan furnace smoking, they didn't show a disappointed expression, but cheered up and continued to watch Lu Shaoliang refine the second furnace of pills. Some people who were interested in alchemy secretly wrote down the steps of Lu Shaoliang's alchemy and went back to ponder it.

Lu Shaoliang saw the blackened pill at the bottom of the furnace, his face did not show an expression of disappointment, but instead reflected on the reason for his failure, he thought for a while, took out a spirit stone and recovered.

Uncle Zhao saw that the stone in Lu Ershao's hand suddenly turned to ash, and the tiredness on Lu Ershao's face was also a little less. He was obsessed with Lu Ershao's stone, and when he went back, he must study the origin of this stone, it has such a great effect.

This time, Lu Ershao re-refined the medicinal materials and opened the furnace for alchemy again. Uncle Zhao was very curious about Lu Ershao's spirit stone, and even secretly wrote down the steps and methods of Lu Ershao's alchemy.

The sunset fell, leaving a touch of soft color on the horizon, at this time Lu Ershao suddenly extinguished the flame under the Dan furnace, the lid of the furnace was lifted, and several mellow pills flew out of the Dan furnace.

A faint medicinal fragrance spread around, and everyone looked at the pill in Lu Ershao's hand in shock, they didn't expect him to refine the pill so quickly.

"Wow!" "Okay!" "Second Young Master, it's good!" Everyone recovered from shock, and the originally quiet martial arts training ground suddenly became lively, and many people congratulated Elder Lu and Patriarch Lu one after another.

Lu Ershao came to Old Man Ding with the pill and said, "Envoy Ding's pill has been practiced, this is the remaining medicinal material, please test it!"

"Hehe, what else to check, just by virtue of your danxiang, you know that you have refined the next grade of the top elixir, good, good, donkey old man, your life is really good, there is such a grandson, your Lu family is going to be famous!" Old man Ding said excitedly, "Lao Tzu, are you willing to join our Songshan, the conditions are as you like, enter the mountain gate, I promise to introduce you to the best master!"

"Thank you Grandpa Ding for your weight!" Lu Er rarely saw that he could enter Songshan, so he changed his name to Old Man Ding, and when he was about to agree, the eldest elder of the Lu family faked two "cough coughs" on the side. Lu Er rarely saw that his grandfather didn't say anything, and he suddenly didn't know what to do.

Old Man Ding saw that Elder Lu had an opinion, and he didn't care about "haha" and laughed: "Yes, I forgot, it's not in accordance with the rules to accept you in private." When I take you back to the Beast King City and meet the envoys of the six major sects, it won't be too late for you to promise me!"

"Even if you still remember the agreement of your six major sects, the older you get, the more confused you become!" said Grand Elder Lu with some anger.

"You stubborn donkey, just snicker, Lu boy, prepare well, we'll leave tomorrow!" Old man Ding patted Lu Ershao's shoulder and said happily. Old Man Ding gave a few more instructions, and then chatted with Elder Lu, the two are old friends, and there are endless words to say when they meet.

When everyone saw that the coming-of-age ceremony had been completed, they all said goodbye to Patriarch Lu and left, and as for Elder Lu, there was the big Buddha of Old Man Ding, and no one dared to disturb him. I had to say goodbye to Patriarch Lu.

Lu Yimeng sat on the stool a little weakly and looked at Lu Ershao from afar, the second brother is now an eagle with wings spread and flying high, and he is no longer the wreck who was randomly beaten by me with his collar, it's really good, there is a successor to the uncle! Lu Yimeng is also happy for Lu Ershao's achievements today.

The only unhappy person in the Lu family was the Lu patriarch, but in the face of everyone's congratulations, he had to thank him with a smile, but he scolded Lu Shaoliang thousands of times in his heart.

Yue'er saw everyone leaving, and then she realized that this coming-of-age ceremony was a stepping stone to apprenticeship, since Lu Ershao knocked on the door successfully, there was no need for her to stay and join in the fun, compared to her and Lu Ershao are not familiar with each other!

"Second Young Master Lu, after reading your coming-of-age ceremony, I should also leave. Bye-bye!" Yue'er said casually. Lu Ershao originally wanted to stay with Yue'er for the night, but there were too many people around him who came to congratulate him, and he couldn't spare time to talk to Yue'er at all, so he could only watch Yue'er leave.

Before leaving, Yue'er walked up to Elder Lu and said, "Great Elder, congratulations, your strength has gone further, hehe, I'm leaving, bye!" Yue'er said mockingly, she glanced at Old Man Ding as she left, as if asking him about the transaction.

"Wait!" Old Man Ding saw that Yue'er was leaving, so he quickly got up and said goodbye to Elder Lu: "Stubborn donkey, I have something to discuss with this little Taoist friend, and I will also leave, I will come to see you again when I have time in the future, remember to mention our Songshan in front of your grandson." Farewell!"

Old man Ding also instructed Lu Ershao to come to the Iron Eagle Cottage tomorrow to find him, and then left in a hurry with Yue'er. Originally, there were some young people who saw Yue'er leaving alone, and planned to rob them halfway, but they didn't expect the old man Ding's big Buddha to leave with Yue'er, so they gave up this idea and left obediently.

On the way back, Yue'er did not take Old Man Ding back to Tieying Village, but went to Zhang Dashan's gate. Because Yue'er didn't want Old Man Ding to discover the secret of Tieying Village.

"Hey, you see, is that person Uncle Zhao? There are two people around him, I don't know who it is. A common man saw Uncle Zhao coming from a distance and talked to his companions.

"Let me see, it's really Uncle Zhao, hey, the person next to him seems to be Miss!" another citizen said excitedly, "You wait for Miss here, I'll report to the general!"

"Go, I'm here!" said another man, cheerfully.

When Yue'er walked into Zhang Dashan's walled gate, the people who stayed behind immediately greeted her and said happily: "Miss・・・・・・"

"Well, I'm back, what about you General Zhang?" Yue'er immediately interrupted the people, she didn't want Old Man Ding to know that this was not her residence.

"Miss, why don't you go to the house and wait for a while, the general will come soon. The common man led Yue'er to the mountains, and from time to time he peeked at the strange old man behind him, and whispered in Yue'er's ear: "The general found a mine across the river, and now he is busy mining, and he is not in the village. ”

"Well, when will General Zhang come back?" asked Yue'er after a moment's thought.

"Someone has already informed the general, and it will be tomorrow at the earliest. The man looked at the sky and thought.

"Wait, you mean General Zhang is out of the village?" Yue'er suddenly remembered something and asked in surprise. General Zhang and the others can only leave the cottage once a year, Yue'er doesn't want to see General Zhang come back before he goes out, and she has to wait another year before she can leave the cottage again.

The man nodded confusedly.

Yue'er shook her head and said, "Forget it, let General Zhang not come back, bring your steward, I have something to discuss with him." Yue'er heard Uncle Zhao say that General Zhang's subordinates had special bookkeeping and management of the mine, but she didn't expect that Zhang Dashan would go out to mine ore in person this time.

Yue'er and Old Man Ding came to Zhang Dashan's residence, and not long after, a young man who stayed in the gate to take care of the ore came. "Miss, everyone has gone out, there are only four or five of us in the gate, do you have anything to do?" the young man said respectfully in front of Yue'er.

"Liu Xiu!" Yue'er sat on the top seat, raised her eyes and saw that it was the bandit Liu Xiu, Yue'er looked at the others, and asked uneasily: "Now you are in charge of the ore?"

"Of course it's the young lady who decides!" Liu Xiu rolled her eyes and said flatteringly.

"Go, go, go. Yue'er scolded with tears and laughter, then jumped off the chair and said to Liu Xiu: "Okay, you are in charge, I will introduce you to a big customer!" Yue'er walked to Old Man Ding and said, "This is a Ding envoy from Beast King City, and he wants to trade Xuantie with you." ”

After Yue'er finished speaking, she looked at the old man Ding who was sitting in the guest seat and said, "Envoy Ding, just tell him how you want to trade, his name is Liu Xiu." You know that I'm only in charge of this place, and there's a lot of land here, and I can't take care of a lot of things. Yue'er's face was not red, her heart was not beating, she said to Uncle Zhao with the appearance of a superior person: "Uncle Zhao, you stay and help Liu Xiu, and I will go to the general to have a look." ”

When Old Man Ding saw that Yue'er was leaving, he showed a displeased expression and said, "This little village master, you left me like this to send me away?

"Envoy Ding, don't worry, all the big and small things in my Tieying Village are taken care of by Uncle Zhao for me. He represents me, no problem!" Yue'er said very seriously, but she didn't tell Old Man Ding that there were only four people in Tieying Village. After Yue'er finished speaking, she slipped away as if fleeing.

When the Ding envoy saw Yue'er leaving, he was very angry in his heart, and he wanted to slap this place in the face. He sat alone in the guest seat sulking, ignoring Liu Xiu and Uncle Zhao.

Liu Xiu saw that the envoy Ding was only angry and did not speak, he was born as a bandit, and his status in the Zhaimen was not high. I had to ask Uncle Zhao for help.

Uncle Zhao has been in the mall for a long time, and he is very good at dealing with this kind of difficult birth, so he handed Liu Xiu a reassuring look, and talked with Envoy Ding.

During the conversation, Envoy Ding kept a straight face and did not speak from the beginning, then listened carefully to the content of Uncle Zhao's conversation, and finally laughed happily. When the two sides officially entered the negotiation of price and quantity, Uncle Zhao quietly wiped the cold sweat on his forehead. After all, Uncle Zhao is a mortal, and doing business with immortals is really the first time that a big girl has been in a sedan chair. That's a lot of pressure!

When Uncle Zhao and Old Man Ding were discussing the deal, Yue'er had already rushed to the Demon Mountain. When Yue'er heard the people say that General Zhang had discovered a mine across the river, Yue'er was the first to think of the mine on the Demon Mountain! Sure enough, as soon as Yue'er arrived at the entrance of the mine, she saw about 20 miners busy in and out of the newly opened mine.

Yue'er smiled awkwardly, moved the mine herself, and General Zhang came to dig the well again. Their cottage is really a veritable cottage, and they don't even let go of the land, and they have to dig three feet into the ground!

"Yue'er, why are you here?" Zhang Dashan found Yue'er and asked curiously.

"I want to ask you how you got here?"

"You also know that my Zhaimen started a dark iron business, and I heard you say that there is a dark iron mine here. I wanted to come here early in the morning to have a look, but I never had time!" Zhang Dashan smiled and said, his so-called lack of time did not mean that he was very busy, but that he did not have the opportunity to leave the village!

"Do you have a harvest here?" Yue'er used her divine sense to probe into the ground, and found that there were still many iron ores underneath, but they were covered by a thick layer of dirt and gravel.

"Hehe, it's just a little bit of harvest, you eat meat, let's drink some soup!" Zhang Dashan said pointedly.

"Uncle Zhang, it's not right for you to joke with Yue'er like this, I didn't eat alone. Although I moved a mountain, the iron eagle statue cost me millions of pounds of black iron. Throw away the useless waste rocks, how much can I keep, just a little bit!" Yue'er said cheekily again, but her little face was slightly red, her storage space still had half a mountain of dark iron ore unmined!

"Okay, don't mention this, I'm here to discuss something with you!" Yue'er looked at Zhang Dashan and said, "There is someone who wants to buy your Xuantie, I agreed, as for how much he wants to buy, I didn't ask what price, I will leave it to your subordinate Liu Xiu to take care of!"

"Oh. Although this Liu Xiu often likes to visit Chen's mother's flower building, he is still clean and has not done anything petty, this matter is left to him to deal with, I will see it. But he doesn't know the price of the iron! No, I'll have to go back quickly. When Zhang Dashan said this, he was ready to gather everyone back.

"You go back with this group of people, I don't know how long you will have to wait. I don't think you'd go back, I'll let Uncle Zhao stay in your village gate to help, you should rest assured that he's there!" Yue'er stopped.

"Oh, it's great to have Uncle Zhao to help! Yue'er, you really don't know, I really hope that Uncle Zhao can come to my cottage to help, you look at my group of people, they can only use brute force, there are not a few shrewd guys, and the accounts are all messy. I'm serious, you can send Uncle Zhao to me!" Zhang Dashan looked at Yue'er expectantly, Uncle Zhao's ability is really not small, he knows some things big and small in the whole cottage, and he has a better hand in financial management and business, and the owner of the village wants Uncle Zhao for a long time, but because of Yue'er's face, it is difficult to speak. But today, speaking of which, of course Zhang Dashan has to strike first!

Yue'er shook her head and said, "Don't even think about it!haha, haha!" Yue'er saw Zhang Dashan's somewhat lost expression, and immediately laughed happily.

"You're busy, I'm leaving!By the way, if you make money, don't forget to give Uncle Zhao dividends!" Yue'er finished speaking, and walked back happily.
