My Years in the Folklore World

Chapter 539 Yuan Magnetism
"Star Iron Ore (excellent material), a type of ore mined from the Skyfire Mine. Because it has been burned by the Skyfire and affected by the radiation of meteorites, the properties of the ore have changed. It is several times harder than ordinary iron ore and is a great material for forging weapons such as hammers, axes, whips, and pestles."

"Water-soaked ore (excellent material) is a stone excavated from underwater stone mines. Because it has been soaked in water veins for many years, the ore is also endowed with cold properties and can automatically absorb moisture from the air. Gunpowder makers like to use this ore to make grinding tools. It can prevent accidents and also prevent the gunpowder from changing its nature and losing its original power."

Jiang Xinghuo spent less than 2000 incense sticks to purchase these two kinds of mineral materials. He then went back to find the Taoist Master Shengong and made a counterfeit that was indistinguishable from the real thing.

Unless the master chef in the gunpowder workshop observes carefully, he will not be able to find the differences and problems in a short period of time.

However, there was no rush to do this. The master chefs from the gunpowder workshop had gone to the city lord's mansion to attend a banquet and would probably not be back until the evening. He still had a lot of spare time.

"What are you going to choose next?"

"You have already purchased two types of ore materials. Do you want to go back and find the Taoist Master Shengong immediately to ask him to help you forge new tools? Or do you want to stay here and participate in a gamble to see if you can get a bargain?"

Looking at the two options that popped up on the screen, Jiang Xinghuo chose the latter and participated in a stone gambling. He believed that with his natural ability, it would not be difficult to find the most valuable things among them.

"You chose to stay and participate in the gambling on stones."

"The shop assistant took out a large wooden box from the back. Inside was more than 20 pieces of minerals of various shapes and colors. The area was soon filled with people watching the fun."

"The rules of gambling on stones are very simple. With 1000 incense sticks, you can pick a piece of stone from these ores. The payment is settled, and no credit is accepted. You can never regret your move. If you can get a bargain, it's your luck. If you miss it, it's your lack of vision. You can't blame others."

"You have triggered the Tathagata's talent."

"Open the small pupil of your right eye and use the vision of Tathagata to look at the ore in the box."

"Soon, you'll discover the secrets hidden beneath the surface of these minerals."

"Most of these ores are just ordinary iron ores. They are only disguised on the outside to make them look extraordinary, but they are actually worthless. They are barely even worth forging farm tools."

"Only a few pieces of ore are truly unique, but even if they are mined and sold, they are hardly worth the price paid. There is only one dark red stone that seems to hide something different."

"You triggered it, it's like seeing fire."

"You triggered it, Kakui Tomi."

"You have triggered all your pupil skills and discovered that under this dark red ore, there is a piece of black chalcedony. There are dragon patterns on the surface. It is somewhat similar to the power of dragon veins, but it is not. Perhaps you can try to buy this stone."

"Do you want to spend 1000 incense sticks to buy this ore?"

Jiang Xinghuo pondered for a moment, without thinking too much, and quickly made up his mind.

"You chose to buy this ore."

"You have lost, incense -1000."

"You have obtained the dark red ore."

"Do you want to decompose this ore in front of others and take out the dragon-patterned chalcedony hidden inside?"

Two options, yes or no.

Jiang Xinghuo subconsciously wanted to choose no, in order to avoid being surrounded by too many people and attracting some people's covetousness.

But then he thought again, he had already invested 3000 incense sticks today, and he could take this opportunity to make some money back. If there were any blind people who dared to cause trouble for him, he could just harvest some incense sticks from them.

Thinking of this, Jiang Xinghuo no longer hesitated and chose to cut the stone in person without hesitation.

"You cut open this dark red ore in front of all the onlookers, revealing the dragon-patterned chalcedony inside."

"You have obtained the Dragon Blood Jade."

"Dragon Blood Jade (rare material) is originally chalcedony that has been soaked in the dragon vein energy deep in the mines for a long time. By chance, it was stained with the blood of a real dragon, and thus evolved into a new item. It can assist in the practice of dragon vein power, and can also be worn close to the body. It has the effect of warding off evil spirits and evil spirits. It also has a strong effect of driving away insects, tigers and wolves in the mountains."

"You dug out this dragon blood jade from the ore, which immediately attracted the attention of others. The guy who took out the ore also had a trace of regret and greed in his eyes. He hated himself for not discovering this treasure earlier and letting you get it for nothing."

"At this time, someone nearby finally couldn't hold back any longer and came over to find you, saying that he was willing to pay 1500 incense sticks to buy the dragon blood jade in your hand. Are you willing to give it up?"

Jiang Xinghuo didn't even think about it and directly chose no. What a joke! Not to mention the efficacy and ability of this dragon blood jade, just from the rarity level of its quality, it would be more than the price. It was too wishful to think that he could buy the thing with such a small amount of money.

"You rejected the other party's offer, and the other party's face changed. There was a hint of an ambiguous look in his eyes. He said that since you don't want to give it up, he won't force you to do so. He hopes you can keep it."

Hooked!
When Jiang Xinghuo saw this text, he immediately understood that the other party was planning to force the sale. He didn't dare to do it in this mineral street, but it was hard to say what would happen away from here.

However, one is a little too little, we need to find a few more. I wonder if that guy can also be attracted by this dragon blood jade.

Jiang Xinghuo wandered around the Mineral Street for a while, triggering a lot of interactive messages from people who wanted to purchase Dragon Blood Jade.

The most expensive ones are almost 5000 incense sticks.

It has to be said that Jiang Xinghuo was really tempted when he saw the price, but he finally suppressed the idea. He didn't want to give the goods, but he also wanted the money, so he could only refuse the other party.

Half an hour later, Jiang Xinghuo left the Mineral Street and wanted to go back to find the Taoist Master Shengong to forge tools.

"You left Ore Street and headed for the blacksmith shop of Shengong Daoist. A lot of people followed you secretly."

"What are you going to do next?"

"Will you choose to use your divine movement skills to get rid of these people and avoid getting into trouble? Or will you deliberately choose a remote alley to lure them over and then catch them all in one fell swoop?"

Looking at the interactive options in front of him, Jiang Xinghuo chose the latter. The reason why he showed off his wealth in public was to attract these short-sighted people and get some money back for himself.

"You turned left and right along the way, choosing only remote paths and quiet places to walk in. Soon you came to a dead end with no one around. When you looked back, you saw that the exit behind you was also blocked."

"These people are here for the dragon blood jade in your hand and the incense on your body. They said that if you hand over all the incense and dragon blood jade on your body, they will let you go. Otherwise, they will break your limbs and leave you here to feed the wild dogs."

"What are you going to do now?"

"Would you rather spend your money to avoid disaster and give the dragon blood jade and the incense on your body to these people, or would you rather fight them?"

Jiang Xinghuo chose the second answer without hesitation and summoned the Xiaoyao Mengdie from the acupoint. He eliminated all the enemies effortlessly and without even causing any ripples.

"You have activated the innate ability of the Dreaming Butterfly." "All those bandits who wanted to steal the treasures from you fell into the dream created by the Dreaming Butterfly and unknowingly became walking corpses. Although they still have breath and heartbeats, they can never open their eyes and can only sink into an endless dream."

"You have killed the treasure robber +15."

"You have obtained, Incense +3500."

Jiang Xinghuo raised his eyebrows and thought to himself, it's not bad, the capital was returned, and he also made a net profit of a piece of dragon blood jade and 800 incense sticks. Although it's a little less, it's better than nothing.

"You walked out of the alley, but when you passed by the zombies on the ground, you suddenly found a miner who had not completely fallen into a dream, but was in a deep sleep. There was still a chance for him to wake up. He must have some kind of treasure hidden on him that resisted the power of the Free Dream Butterfly."

Ok?
Jiang Xinghuo was slightly shocked. After Xiaoyao Mengdie digested the remaining consciousness of the Nightmare Immortal, his ability has been greatly improved. How could an ordinary miner resist it?
"Do you want to check on the miner?"

Jiang Xinghuo immediately chose yes. He wanted to see what was hidden on this miner that could withstand the attack of Xiaoyao Mengdie.

"You searched the miner's body carefully and finally found a piece of ore containing the power of magnetism."

"This piece of ore takes on the shape of a precious sword, emitting strands of magnetic sword energy that can constantly stimulate a person's meridians and consciousness. This is why the miner has become resistant to the power of the Dreaming Butterfly."

"What are you going to do now?"

"Will you choose to kill this miner completely, or wake him up first and ask him about the origin of this small magnetic sword?"

Jiang Xinghuo certainly would not miss this opportunity and directly chose to wake up the miner.

"You asked Xiaoyao Mengdie to wake up the miner, waved the Yuanci sword at him, and said that if he told the origin of the sword, he would be spared. If he dared to conceal or lie, he would be killed."

"The miner was so frightened by you that he was shaking like a sieve. He hurriedly told me the origin of this small sword. It was something he dug out from the extremely magnetic mine on the fifteenth night of the first lunar month last year. It can ensure that the body's qi and blood are stable and safe in the extremely magnetic mine with chaotic magnetic fields."

It's the fifteenth day of the first lunar month again? ?
Jiang Xinghuo frowned slightly, thinking that there were a lot of things to do that day, and he was not sure whether he would be able to handle it.

But let’s get the map first.

"You asked the miners to map and mark the location of the Polar Magnetic Mine in detail."

"You have obtained a partial map of the Polar Magnetic Mine."

"The area of ​​the Polar Magnetic Mine is quite large, and it has not been to all of them. It can only record the places it has been to."

"What are you going to do next?"

"Do you choose to let this miner go?"

Jiang Xinghuo easily chose no.

There is no such easy thing in the world. Since you dare to kill people, you must be prepared to be killed. It is too easy to think of letting the matter go by just saying a few nice words.

"You landed a palm on the miner's head, shattering all the organs and veins in its body."

"You have obtained, Incense +200."

Afterwards, Jiang Xinghuo continued to rush towards the Taoist Shengong.

"You found the Taoist Master Shengong and gave him the materials you bought. He threw the two ores into his body, and flames instantly burst out from the furnace. You happened to be standing in front of it, and the heat of thousands of degrees instantly engulfed you."

"Before you could react, you turned into ashes under the high temperature. Not even a body was left."

"You are dead."

Jiang Xinghuo stared at the text in amazement.

I wondered what was going on.

Could it be that the other party wants to hide these two pieces of ores?

So murder to silence the witness? ?

Jiang Xinghuo immediately activated the effect of the scapegoat and came back to life in the blacksmith shop.

If the Taoist Shengong dares to make moves on it, then its life today will be over.

"You came back to life in the blacksmith shop, and the Taoist Master Shengong was looking at you with a guilty look on his face. Although he was now a big iron furnace with hands and feet, you could clearly see the guilt on his face."

How did you see this?

Emoticons? ?

Jiang Xinghuo was a little confused.

Can an iron stove have changing expressions?

However, judging from the description in the game text, the opponent had no intention of harming him, and he accidentally killed him. To put it bluntly, it was just bad luck.

"The Taoist Master of Divine Craftsmanship apologized to you repeatedly, saying that he forgot you were there and accidentally hurt you when he opened the furnace forging. Fortunately, you are an exile and will not really die. He is willing to pay a price to compensate for his mistakes and make up for his apology to you. Do you accept it?"

Jiang Xinghuo chose to accept it. Since the other party had no intention, there was no need to hold on to it. Besides, they had established a good relationship now, which might be useful in the future.

"You accepted the apology of the Taoist Master Shengong and received a compass made of Yuanci."

"This compass was made by Shengong Daoist using ore from the Jiji Mine. In places with a normal magnetic field, the needle will keep shaking and it will be difficult to point to the exact location. But if you are in a place with a chaotic magnetic field, the compass will return to normal and can guide you to find the object with the strongest magnetic force."

Isn’t this the opposite of what is meant by doing things the other way around?
Jiang Xinghuo happily accepted the compass. It would come in handy when he went to the Polar Magnetic Mine tomorrow.

"When the Taoist Master Shengong saw that you accepted the compass, he took out an iron book from the furnace. The pages and spine of the book were made of cast iron, and there were many words engraved on it. They were records of the history of the mining city from ancient times to the present. It can be regarded as compensation for you."

"You have obtained the history book of the mining city."
