The Qibeipo Mine is located to the north of Qixing Mountain. Except for a small number of mining areas in the open air, most of the mining areas are located in caves.

Although she has stayed in Qixing Mountain for more than a month, this is Ye Lingyue's first time to the north mountain of Qixing Mountain.

Unlike the southern mountain, which is lush all year round, the northern mountain of Qixing Mountain does not have much vegetation. The bare rocks are exposed and look very desolate.

In the past, the Qibei Slope Mine was full of mine carts and miners, but when we entered the mine today, there were very few people in the mine and it was a depressing scene.

Ye Lingyue followed Ye Sheng and hurriedly walked deep into the mine.

As soon as they arrived outside the Qibeipo Mine, Ye Lingyue heard Ye Gu's angry scolding.

After nearly ten years of mining, one-third of the Qibei Slope mine has been excavated. The mining area is very wide, half the size of Qiufeng Town.

In the mine with pine oil torches lit, brothers Ye Huangyun and Ye Huangcheng lowered their heads. Two men in their thirties were scolded into silence.

"Bastard, how on earth did you supervise the work? How could a good ore become like this overnight?" Ye Gu's eyes were red with anger, and the veins on his forehead were beating like earthworms.

Beside his feet were scattered some ores.

Black iron ore is divided into two colors. Those with different colors are black with gray, and those with a color of more than 40% are silver-gray.

However, the ore in these Qibei Slope mines is red in color. If you look closely, you will see that the red color is the ore that has grown rusty moss.

Anyone who has been involved in the iron ore trade knows that rust grows because the ore is not well preserved and gets damp.

In order to keep the ore dry, the mine is kept dry and moisture-proof all year round.

Ore with rusty moss is difficult to refine.

Worried that the Song family would play tricks on the Qibei Slope mine, Ye Gu also specifically ordered the brothers Ye Huangyun and Ye Huangcheng to be responsible for the handover of the mine this time.

The two brothers have barely slept a wink in the past few days. They personally took over the Qibeipo Mine from the Song family. They have also seen the ore in it. Who would have known that when they came today, they found that all the ore was covered with rust.

.

Moreover, the rust is still increasing, and even the mountain walls of the mine have grown large areas of rust.

If this continues, the entire Qibei Slope mine will be destroyed.

What's worse is that in order to obtain the Qibeipo Mine, the mine in the hands of the Ye family has been handed over to the Song family. As a result, the Song family has no mine in their hands.

If the losses caused by Ye Sheng's almost being deceived last time were just light rain for the Ye family, then the mining crisis at Qibei Slope this time is a scourge that is enough to destroy the Ye family's hundreds of years of foundation.

Some miners who got wind of the news left the Ye family and went to work for the Song family. There were rumors that the Ye family would collapse this time.

"Dad, we can guarantee with our heads that when my eldest brother and I took over the mine, the ore in it was all good." Ye Huangcheng is the main person in charge of the mine. He looked at the piles of waste ore and felt like a knife.

"Grandpa, Dad, what's wrong with these ores?" Ye Sheng and Ye Qing entered the mine, and the mine was filled with miserable clouds and heavy rain.

"Go, go, you kids, what are you doing in the mine?" Ye Huangcheng was depressed. After meeting his son and others, he became even more depressed.

As soon as Ye Lingyue walked into the mine, she felt a sense of moisture.

When she saw that Ye Gu and others were agitated, she didn't go forward to scold them, and walked around the mine a few times.

"Uncle, why is there ice grass in the mine?" Ye Lingyue saw at a glance that there were inconspicuous white grass growing on the mountain wall and in some inconspicuous corners.

Thinking of the Song family's earlier purchase of a large amount of Ice Ningcao in the medicinal shop, Ye Lingyue's mind quickly recalled the records about Ice Ningcao in Hongmeng's handbook.

"Bing Ning grass, what is that? These grasses are just weeds." Ye Huangyun didn't have the time to pay attention to those weeds.

"That's not a weed. Ice grass is a kind of grass that condenses water vapor. Just transplant them in the mine, and in just one night, the ore will rust and a lot of rusty moss will grow." Ye Lingyue had a headache.

Unexpectedly, although her uncles were experts in ore mining and refining, they knew nothing about medicinal herbs.

She had kindly reminded them earlier to investigate the reason why the Song family purchased the ice-condensing grass. Now it was clear that the Song family wanted to use these ice-condensing grass to destroy the entire Qibeipo mining area.

"What Lingyue, what you said is true." Ye Gu and Ye Huangyun were shocked when they heard this.

As for Ye Huangcheng, he also looked ugly.

"Could it be that these Ice Ning grass were planted by the Song family? Damn the Song family, I will never let you go." Ye Gu was furious and hit the mountain wall with his palm. Suddenly, there were many people on the mountain wall.

A pothole was discovered, and rocks were scattered all over the ground.

"Grandpa, now is not the time to settle accounts with the Song family. The top priority is to find a way to remove the rust and refining the ore." In fact, everyone understands Ye Lingyue's words. Getting rid of the rust is easier said than done, but the operation

It's difficult to get up.

"It's easy for you to say. To remove rust and moss, you must have very high-temperature Yuanhuo. In Daxia, only a few large chambers of commerce and royal alchemy houses have Yuanhuo. Even if it is removed, it will require a huge amount of money.

, even if our Ye family goes bankrupt, we can't afford it." Ye Huangcheng said angrily.

He had never heard of something like Ice Ning Grass, but a thirteen-year-old yellow-haired girl saw through it, which made Ye Huangcheng very embarrassed.

Ye Lingyue has the Qian Ding in hand, so it is not difficult to remove the rust on the ore, but that will expose her possession of a valuable treasure, and the mine on Qibei Slope is too big, and Ye Lingyue's Ding breath needs to be digested so much.

It's hard to get too many ores.

"It is not only Yuan Fire that can remove rust and moss. As far as I know, lava fire can also remove rust and moss." Ye Lingyue clearly remembered that Hongmeng Fangxian made similar records in Hongmeng's handwriting.

"The temperature of lava fire is similar to that of some primitive fires, but where should I find volcanic lava fire at this time?" After hearing Ye Lingyue's suggestion, Ye Gu first nodded and then shook his head.

"As long as we are sure that the lava fire can remove the rust, the Ye family will be saved. Grandpa, do you believe me or not?" Ye Lingyue's eyes flickered and she looked at Ye Gu intently. She also knew that everyone should immediately believe her words.

Somewhat difficult.

Ye Gu was hesitant to believe it. Now that the Ye family had no other better way, they just believed in their grandson daughter and treated the dead horse as a live doctor.

Seeing that Ye Gu believed in her, Ye Lingyue no longer hesitated and took Ye Gu to the cliff cave where the golden-footed snake earthworm was found earlier.
